Organic Maps migrates to Forgejo due to GitHub account blocked by Microsoft.

So now we know how to instantly delist any project on GitHub.
My guess is there is an admin that knows where each contributor is from. And can approve or decline check in requests.

organic maps ftw!

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.
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.

[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:That's strange. A lot of people from Russia continue contributing on GitHub without any issues.

This is the benefit of using distributed tools like git.
Yeah, the code history is the easiest thing to migrate. The other stuff like issues relies on having a good exporting/importing tool on both sides.

YMMV. I've seen issues in migration from Gitea to Codeberg. Always test first.

If this doesn't spur on an antitrust suit in the EU, I don't know what will.

It probably won't, they were banned due to sanctions that the EU completely support. Though they were unblocked so it raises questions was the ban even legitimate and also why it took 2 weeks to unban them.

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.

That seems bullshit.

Yea tons of devs treat all of these platforms like the central host, but you can host it on all of them at once lol
Wonder if there's a tool for compiling all issues from seperate sources to allow devs with repos hosted on several different platforms to respond easier.
Also feels like a way to get repeat issues more frequently
