GitHub has gone - long live Forgejo (@forgejo@floss.social).
Fully migrated out of Microsoft’s walled garden after they blocked us:
- 54k commits
- 9.5k issues
- 4.3k pull requests
- 100k comments
Everything moved. Nothing left behind.

Wow, I read that in the completely wrong way for a sec and wondered, why you had 38 upvotes for promoting the banning of open source contributions from certain countries.
Btw. how do we get them to do that banning for the whole of EU? Asking for a friend.
US likes to impose arbitrary sanctions on its adversaries. Basically the US government decided that people from a particular country aren’t allowed to collaborate with people using US based platforms like GitHub.
OrganicMaps GitHub repo was blocked due to contributor being geolocated in a US-sanctioned place https://mastodon.social/@organicmaps/114155428924741370
🎉 sometimes US sanctions actually do lead to positive outcomes :)
the world adapts :)

Which sanctioned country? There are several of them.
Guess Russia.
Yeah, that was my first guess, but I don’t like to assume.
I wasn’t curious enough to look deeper.
Thank you. Would you mind explaining what this means please? What is a U.S.-sanctioned place? Why does the U.S. government think this is a bad thing?

The US has been punishing open source contributors from countries they don’t like.
