Isn't this gaslighting and bullying?

Why would StackOverflow need to delete mentions of trademarked or closed-source software? SO doesn't need to delete mentions of Windows, though their license terms have changed to require MS login, for example.

I am not an employee of Anaconda. I don't know anything else about their ongoing actions given terms that apply to commercial entities FWIU.

One should not legally threaten third parties with false authority about copyright, trademark, wordmark or the like.

If you do not want to pay Anaconda for their package manager and package repos of mostly open source code, you can use conda-forge with micromamba or conda or mamba or pixi, which are all BSD licensed.

FWIW, the conda-forge repos are also hosted by Anaconda at Anaconda's expense.

Actually, the MS Windows license terms haven't changed to require login.

Is there a way to mirror conda-forge packages; or donate to a foundation for bandwidth, storage, maintenance, and package maintenance costs?
