[why blocked?] "a contributor made a push from a sanctioned region is what i saw. not even a main dev, and they didn’t receive any warning is my understanding. i might be way off, i’m not a final source:
Not that I condone Microsoft, but if it is a sanctioned country (Russia, Iran, North Korea, etc.). Microsoft will be in shit with the US government if they let it there.
If the project has contributors from there, then I guess they need to move off GitHub like they did.
This is a really strong argument for not depending on non-federated, centrally controlled services. It doesn't matter which country or company is behind Your Favorite Service™, they can be legally mandated to by Oppressive Regime ("it could never happen in my country!"), or they could just be arbitrary assholes.
I don't care why Microsoft did it. I moved off Github when MS acquired them, although in this case it probably wouldn't have made a difference. Regardless, what it proves is that you can not rely on a monopoly.
So now we know how to instantly delist any project on GitHub.
Step 1: Get write access to the project you dislike.
Seems like a vulnerability to exploit
its sad that this is what the country decided to do. FOSS has nothing to do with the wars waged by politicians, sometimes at the expense of the very people trying to collaborate together despite chauvinism.
i imagine it will sadly get worse as these types of conflicts escalate.
All fair but with current us foreign policy I really have hard time respecting their authority on anything
Mega corps gonna mega corp so that why there is a need for decentralization where possible. Otherwise we are all gonna be enslaved by a few mentally ill people with out any check or balace.
If they can tell they're from a banned region why are they letting them push in the first place. Sounds like a convenient excuse.
If I interpret this toot correctly, there wasn’t a direct commit from a sanctioned region, but one developer was in one of those regions for a short while quite some time ago. And he may have been flagged because of this.
That seems bullshit.
That's strange. A lot of people from Russia continue contributing on GitHub without any issues.
This Russiaphobia is so completely out of fucking control.
Ooh, I didn't know that someone had developed a mechanism to move issues and PRs.
I remember commenting on the fact that while it's easy to move the source repo itself from location to location, as git makes that easy and self-contained, issues and PRs didn't enjoy that.
You can easily do that with forgejo/gitea. However, you cannot sync these issues, that's a one-off operation.
You can however totally sync the git repo - either out of the box or using web hooks/git hooks.
YMMV. I've seen issues in migration from Gitea to Codeberg. Always test first.
Ouch, and that is with Gitea and Codeberg being essentially the same software.
Forgejo seems pretty good, I'll move my stuff there too
organic maps ftw!
This is the benefit of using distributed tools like git.
