I am getting concerned about this juvenile concept of peoples emotions being fragile eggs that could be destroyed at any given moment. Why is it the HOSTING services job to decided community guidelines?
So is thought-policing your customers.
Personally, I nuked my Github account months ago.
Dueling anecdotes!
But it's quite obvious they see the responsibility with the project owners first, and will only step in if it escalates. A written policy can make the owner's jobs a bit easier because they can just point at it and deflect criticism to GH.
because GitHub has been trying to save their reputation after some pretty lousy things went on, leading to them deciding to bend to PC pressure.
I'm all for respecting others, and absolutely against any sort of threats of violence, harassment, etc... It's a massive problem online.
That's a ways from having people flood your project with requests to change things like master/slave terminology or the name of the project because "bro" is horrible.
Citation Needed. I suspect the number of real threats are approximately the same as the number of people that have really fucked my mum.
Plus it's hardly right that you can threaten someone just because "lol it's the internet brah"
Unless we lock down the internet and give up anonymity then it's something we have to accept.
