Oddly enough, making rules like that is technically restricting people's
freedom to communicate.  Restricting freedom to promote freedom is a
dangerous game.

There will always be people who are new to the community and don't
appreciate the issues with Github (if you'll excuse the pun), I'm sure
we can help explain in a friendly way without needing to resort to rules
like these.  If the same person repeatedly insists that Github is better
than Gitlab, for example, that would be spamming.
