I'm so glad we've had this rising moral grandstanding authortarianism on the left in the past 10 years.
It certainly has helped to protect the vulnerable and not merely served as egoistic vanity-based virtue signaling for a narcissistic and sycophantic minority.

"Reeee, a community vote that says we shouldn't spend community-donated money hosting pump-and-dump projects that exist to put money in the hands of the wealthy far-right while destroying the environment is authoritarianism!!1 You should be forced to host my trash at your own expense; stop trying to control me, woke moralists! Stop caring about things and help me destroy the world!"
Doesn't matter if a majority imposes censorship, its still an authoritarian act. Its not worded to ban fraudulent activity, its worded to ban an entire categrory of software.
Guilt by association.
Have a nice day
An entire category of fraud software that's used literally only for scams and buying drugs, and isn't even great for buying drugs.
