> It’s not something «I don’t like», it’s something that actively and blatantly hurts marginalized people. That’s a *fact*.

Right before WW2 happened, the fascists also believed that through freedom the richer people were marginalizing the poorer people. From their perspective, they were just trying to protect their marginalized selves.

Fascism is derived entirely from socialism, but with a little twist, where they realized that socialism would never help reaching the communist utopia, yet the leaders didn't quite feel like just giving up all that political power that they've attained.

So they sought out to continue to get rid of freedom by centralizing all power to the state, thereby creating a totalitarian rule, that would later naturally cause millions of deaths. Therefore, to say "censorship is fascistic" is not backwards at all. But considering the amount of freedom taken away under a fascistic dictatorship, to insinuate, that anybody who desires freedom is therefore a fascist, is quite laughable.

> I just want F-Droid to not support or facilitate hate speech

Because you believe that human rights are less valuable than some enlightened sacred truth that you hold. Just like the fascists and communist and socialists of of today and of the 20th century, who held the same principle, and then put it into practice. They had their own excuses which they thought were very good reasons to justify human rights violations, such as censorship among many other terrible things.

So far as they are concerned, the one who violates the sensibilities of the "dear leader", he does not deserve human rights and the heavier the pointless punishment and torture and murder, the more "virtuous" the zealot who is carrying it out. When you play a part in making human rights a secondary priority, don't be surprised when your own human rights end up violated and dismissed.

Unlike you, i wouldn't take such a risk. So I would much prefer that F-Droid stands on principle and facilitates freedom and transparency.. after all, isn't that the primary purpose /free software/?
