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.

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.
What happened? Why did github block them?
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 :)
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?
