minus-squareGamma@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 days ago The reason was not specified in exact details, but it was likely because a contributor was temporarily geolocated in a U.S.-sanctioned region. source
minus-squarenotfromhere@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 days agoLet me get this straight. A contributor was only temporarily traveling in a US-sanctioned region, they didn’t attempt to push a commit while they were there, only that they visited the region?
