GitHub has gone - long live Forgejo (@forgejo).

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.

🥂 to the United States' sanctions regime for helping get people to migrate off of GitHub!

OM is back to github since a few day and their forgejo repository is now archived.

Remember, bulk sanctions on civilians from "bad" countries is collective punishment. And if you care about "the rules", it's also against international law.

Sanctioning itself into irrelevancy 🥳

Why did github block them?
