I'm not sure if deleting the account on github would be the best option. They could use it as mirror and link to the forgejo instance where active development takes place.

Why wouldn't it be the best option? ๐Ÿค” What arguments are there against moving completely?

[โ€“] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If it's free it's probably best to keep it as a mirror for SEO purposes.

Hmm, that still gives traffic to Github. IMO it would be better if searching for "organicmaps" sent them to the opensource alternative and never to github. Most people will most likely click on the github link and not on the forgejo one, which will keep the github link always on top of the forgejo on. But that's for @organicmaps@mastodon.social to decide.

You do realize that if this is a sanction related thing that it will not be limited to GitHub?

[โ€“] atro_city@fedia.io 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You do realise that they are hosting their own forgejo and not every country is sanctioning the same countries?

[โ€“] taladar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

"Hosting their own" doesn't exist in this context. There is either an ISP, a data center (for colocation) or (more likely) a root server or VPS provider involved which is bound by sanctions just as much as a Git repo hoster in the same jurisdiction would be.

[โ€“] atro_city@fedia.io 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

My point still stands: are all countries sanctioning the same countries? You don't know where the server is being hosted, nor which sanctions it is bound by, nor how they would be enforced.

[โ€“] taladar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

The vast majority of countries do obey US sanctions, at least in the old world order pre-Trump, not sure how that will turn out in the coming years. Mainly because they do not want to be affected by sanctions themselves.
