Everything moved. Nothing left behind.

@driving_crooner sanctions work to stop undemocratic regimes. Those regimes are keeping their own people hostage, and I wish there was a way to save the anti-regime people without supporting the regime. But traveling to Crimea is not what anti-regime people do, so sanction that ass.
Where the sanctions on Saudi Arabia or any others western aligned dictatorship? Sanctions are weapons that kill innocent people, denying people of medicines and food.
Sanctions does not work, the regime still stays while average people suffers and even it harder to even escape the country.
North Korea still exist. Belarus still exist. Eritrea still exist.
American sanctions also only targeted towards anti-America countries. If the regime is pro-America, it’s not gonna be sanctioned.
If you actually support democracy, let’s support the people by giving them platform in the international community. Making them be able to showcase their voice without hijacked by external political force.
It seems your context is specific. If a country is actively hostile against other countries, occupying territories, forbidding people to visit the dangerous area is a common sense.
Making individual user to not be able to contribute to GitHub literally does not do anything towards the regime.
In fact, it’s just making the regime to make alternative platform that controlled by the government to censor the voice. The people basically living on their own bubble and potentially disconnected to the world.
@nasi_goreng It does. It makes it visible. I mean look, we are talking about it. And people tolerating the regime, which needs their ignorance to function, yes, those people should not be enjoying the perks of the free world. The alternative is that we will host and greet the supporters of such regimes, and I don’t think that’s in any way effective.
Sanctions are indiscriminate punishment that mainly affect innocent civilians.

Please educate yourself.

@nasi_goreng what if the people then use that platform to get nice vacations in occupied territories?

People are not tolerating to the regime.
We are helping individual to contribute on open source project.
We should punish the government, but not individual participation in global community.
