>>3What I don't understand is why all these people hate freedom so much.
The ability to vote with your wallet is the cornerstone of any society that values voluntary interactions, the open source community in particular. So someone notices that some project is maintained by a person whose views they disagree with, they stop using that project, make their own fork and notify everyone who might take interest in that as well.
That's how it's supposed to work, that's what Freedom looks like.
The ability of an individual or a group of people to run the place they
own according to their own rules is another cornerstone of a free society that respects private property.
So you have this bunch of people who claim that they share these ideals and are very loud about Freedom of Speech and other stuff. Yet the moment someone uses their Freedom in a way they personally disapprove, they start hysterically harping about "witchhunts", demand censoring of people who voluntarily exchange information about various bigots, and protest github's laying down the law on their own fucking servers.
Mind boggles.
