Avoiding unnecessary risks is productive. It's one of the ways in which projects and organisations stay afloat. > At least GH is big enough so that it can protect its users [...] Now > imagine that OpenWrt or SourceHut or whatewer website will be blocked. > Who will try to dispute? That is a mischaracterisation. AFAICT, GitHub is not (in general) blocked *by* Crimea. Rather, GitHub itself blocks users *in* Crimea (i.e. connecting from Crimea) from using *some* GitHub features: https://docs.github.com/en/github/site-policy/github-and-trade-controls#what-is-available-and-not-available GitHub is not "big enough" to protect users *from GitHub itself*, nor (given that it is headquartered in the USA) *from US Law*. > But hey, the GH CEO Nat Friedman even, while being a jew, personally > worked hard to unblock GH in Iran > https://github.blog/2021-01-05-advancing-developer-freedom-github-is-fully-available-in-iran/ Again a mischaracterisation. That issue didn't relate to GitHub being blocked *by* Iran. Rather, GitHub previously blocked users *in* Iran (i.e. connecting from Iran) from using some or all GitHub features. (BTW, Nat Friedman isn't GitHub's CEO anymore: https://www.theregister.com/2021/11/03/github_ceo_quits/ Also, I'm not sure he's Jewish, nor why that would be relevant.) > I just want to say that I personally agree with this concern and still > for me it looks like GH is at least not a worse option even from this > point of view. Codeberg and SourceHut both seem to be better than GitHub on this front. Best wishes, Sam -- A: When it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: When is top-posting a bad thing?
