Is there no git hosting service left that isn’t pushing censorship and fascism? I think I should just start self-hosting at this point.

    Think this might be a hot take but crypto is better off hosted on a blockchained git alternative like ngit than codeberg or any other. And while unintentional is ultimately healthier for what crypto is.

      Strawman. There are good and bad use-cases of cryptocurrency and cryptography in general just like any other tool. Should we ban Diffie-Hellman as well since it is used by bad actors to send information on illegal and immoral stuff? Let’s just ban all of cryptography since it can be used by evil people to hide from authorities.

        Cryptocurrency != cryptography please don’t put words in people’s mouths, that’s not very nice. I’ve been naive enough in the past to support Cryptocurrency but it will never work unless there’s a complete economic reset which will never happen… At least not without a total catastrophe.

          I used cryptography as an example of a tool that has good and bad use-cases. Not that cryptocurrency equals cryptography. Perhaps I could have worded that better like “There are good and bad use-cases of any tool like cryptocurrency. For example, take cryptography.”.

    Aw, is someone sad that a nonprofit won’t spend their own money to host shitty pump-and-dump tools destroying the environment? Little pissbaby need a minute to compose themself?


    Edit: By the way, speaking of fascism, OP…


    Edit 2: Just want to say I find it immensely funny that the two people in this thread bitching about this democratic decision and calling it “fascist” and “authoritarian”, respectively, have posted an image of Germany captioned “The aggressor nation?” and knowingly, intentionally continue to fund neo-Nazis in Sweden.

    It’s always projection from the “woke moralists!!” crowd.

      I am against Germany’s fascist policies with Nazism. I am also against the British empire’s fascist policies on her colonies. You have to look at my comment in its context that it was under a post that tries to boil down history into “good guys vs bad guys”. I think it is a disservice to history to try to paint anything as black and white.

      As a result of this type of thinking, you get the absolute failure that was de-colonization and de-Nazification, as the US and other capitalist-aligned leaders were completely fine with having Nazis in power as long as they weren’t communist. Britain and France have given hardly any acknowledgment of their wrongdoings in their colonies, let alone even speak of reparations. France still heavily extracts resources and money from her former colonies.

      I am not afraid to say it, and am still not afraid to say, that the Allies and Axis were both horrible. The more we excuse the crimes of the Allies because they defeated the Axis, the more the 3rd world will continue to suffer, and the more that White supremacy will continue to spread in the world.
