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!

Why did github block them?

Sanctioning itself into irrelevancy 🥳

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