    Holy shit, dockerhub, golang, google, and gitlab all blocked Iranian IPs, damn. I would’ve never thought fedora would go along with that too.

      People who use Fedora and disagree with this shoult take a few minutes to send Fedora a message. i tried and failed to get Fedora Design Suite installed, so I don’t use fedora and NEVER want to try again. I felt their community was uninviting, unwelcoming.

      Decisions like this and other political based decisions drove me away from linux. I don’t agree with bringing politics into it.

    Does anyone know a reliable site to check if certain sites are reachable from Iran? I could only find this one, but its obviously wrong as it reports facebook and github as working. Specifically I would like to know if lemmy.ml and crates.io work (that would be enough to read lemmy docs, install it and federate).

      Indeed. I already spoke to some Iranians in my neighborhood in the context of the FedeProxy project, who specifically want to allow oppressed groups the opportunity to participate in any FOSS project unhindered by censorship and exclusion.

    USA is waging an economic war and you are a casualty. It’s sadly working as intended :( It would be great if this spurred some developement of replacaments inside Iran.

      do you mean government? While that might or might not be good (change doesn’t always mean better), it isn’t our place to change another country’s government or people.

    I think there must be some valid reasons for some of this. But, i am really shocked that the FOSS world would do such things. Why GitLab? What reasons did GitHub have for doing it and then for reversing that decision? Try Debian instead. Not sure they’ll allow Iran IPs, either, though, since Debian has accepted lots of money from Google.

    I just recall that AWS servers are used by GitLab (or someone told me that). So that must their reason. I also wonder if religion is part of the reason - or, more accurately - the hatred between Iran and IsraEl. BigBiz runs the West and the government is their partner in a very fascist way.
