From what I recall, the rationale behind this rule is that it puts up a
barrier to discourage people using sr.ht pages as a frontend to
distribute porn, piracy, malware, etc. Github admins have to play
whack-a-mole with this stuff, and they deal with an elevated number of
DMCA complaints and other legal requests because of it. If all site
content must be hosted on sr.ht then it's easier to detect abuse. (I
may be wrong about this but that's what I remember from reading the
list back when the feature was introduced.)

When loading https://meta.sr.ht/privacy/pubkey, I get the following:

500 Internal Error
Something got borken. Sorry about that.

This also occurs on an incognito tab, not just while logged in.

I was trying to trust the pubkey so my email client will stop
complaining.

Thanks
