Oh, that's not really thing in open-source. The source being public means anyone can work on it. There are certain restrictions in terms of monetizing that are put in place by licensing but you can't forbid individual people from working with, rewriting or redistributing the code (for good reason).
You absolutely can put restrictions on distribution of the code. that's literally the premise of GPL licenses, the restriction being that you must provide the source code if you use/make changes.
Fair point. I suppose deplatforming is best, then, promoting the good frontends and not mentioning the bad ones.
