As other users have pointed out, the sanctions don't apply to internet services as long as they are provided for free[1]. So this is political pressure, not legal requirement. I'm disappointed that you've chosen to give in to the political pressure. I posted about SourceHut to promote your service because I thought you were doing something better than the big guys.

SourceHut accepts payments and will eventually become paid-only. I am a one-man operation and I don't have the legal wherewithal to stand up to the government. You can tell me how this legal fight fits into our budget, the finances are public: https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-discuss/%3CBVRVZEWYB30Q.3HGIC803LDBH7%40homura%3E https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-discuss/%3CBVRVZEWYB30Q.... I have to prioritize the health of the service for everyone above the needs of a few people.
