- Praise: Self-hosting is gaining traction, with users advocating for personal infrastructure as a way to bypass potential censorship and maintain control over their projects.
- Praise: The move to ban politically charged projects aligns with the desire for a more ethical and principled coding community, reflecting a strong stance on environmental concerns.
