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.

    Is it really “censorship” if they openly state which shit they don’t want to have near their platform? If I opened any kind of platform myself, these two would be right behind “illegal activities” and “hate speech”. And I’d be proud to place them there.

    If you have issues with not being able to put LLM shit or crypto “currency” scams anywhere, then you should look into selfhosting.

      I did in fact switch to self hosting. Also, how would you define “illegal activities.”? The internet is a decentralized, world-wide platform. Which State’s jurisdiction would you like to fall under? If that State has laws that you don’t agree with?

        The jurisdiction of the country where the server/company is located.

        There are some common ground rules what people consider illegal. You cannot cover every countries’ rules, of course, but blatant copyright violations, CSAM distribution, doxxing data is something most people can agree on.

        And the jurisdiction of the location of the server is an important point, too.

        Selfhosting has more reasons than “just” evading rules one does not like.
