I maintain or contribute to various FLOSS projects. The day FLOSS becomes profit-driven is the day I stop contributing.

Profit and user freedom are two different priorities. Sometimes they are compatible, more often they are not.

There you go.

And yet history proves you wrong, starting with the roman empire and the middle ages.

Apparently Go is good and C, C++, Java, Python, Perl, gcc, clang are all "fragile".

This is not-so-subtle propaganda.

> once your "club" gains too much traction you are still going to be deplatformed by domain registers, DDoS protection services, payment processors etc.

I follow the topic carefully and I've never seen domains being taken down just because people were simply discussing conservative politics.

Hosting platforms love getting paid and tend to block extremist "clubs" like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormfront_(website)

Absolutely not.

You are implying that hating people based on something they cannot control (e.g. ethnicity) is normal.
