Microsoft banned all Iranian users. And crimea if I recall correctly.
Financial support of open source is a nice thing, but folding open source into the world of US political choas seems so wrong.
I for one will be moving my projects elsewhere. Not sure where yet, probably a bitbucket server.

- jaredklewis 7y agoIf your policy is not to use products of companies operated in the US (and thus bound by US laws)...you're going to have to give up a lot more than just GitHub. I'm not a huge fan of these sanctions. Though I do think Microsoft is following the law in a fairly standard fashion.
- lwhalen 7y agoGitlab, IMHO, is the gold-standard for self-hosted Git data, CI/CD, Issue-tracking, etc (IMHO, at least). You can use their (US-based, IIRC) hosted solution, or download their Omnibus package and get a self-hosted instance running in less than an afternoon.
