Nothing personal against russian FOSS developers. They should be blocked (sanctioned) from contributing until the sanctions are stopped.

Do you believe US civilians should be prohibited from interacting with the rest of the world?

Yes…? Why haven’t other countries sanctioned the US for Gaza genocide? But that’s also not the point at hand.

This post is stupid. The whole reason they are blocked is because Russia invaded ukraine, so the US sanctioned them, so Russian developers can’t use Github, not because “microsoft bad” (true but irrelevant in this case) but because Microsoft is legally obligated to block them.

Fuck russia. Honestly this post makes Microsoft, Github and USA look good, and Organic Maps look bad. Organic maps should ban russian developers from contributing.

Honestly after this post I will avoid Organic maps. More like genocide-complicit maps amirite.
