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.

@organicmaps @forgejo Thats great news! And not so good at the same time..we all know most contributors are on github, but hopefully it will be as recognizable as it was on github.

Also why github blocked you @organicmaps ?
Another question, why don't you post on @organicmaps ?

@nictakiego maybe contributors should question themselves about what it means to stay on github, at some point when the site administrator can decide to ban a public interest project for no reason, especially when the website owner is a companny in a fascist state ran by a nazi?

@stupeflo I don't know if organic maps is able to handle contributors questioning, as many of them won't question anything and just move on. Thats why it is in my opinion kind of risky move

@nictakiego it's not a move. They were forced to, as they have been banned in a first place.
