WTF,

@github

is planning to ban me. No idea why. Hosting proof-of-concept code? Having given talks at Russian conferences? Holding a Russian passport (even though I've been a German resident for last 6 years)? No meaningful explanation given. Any good decentralized githubs yet?

I suspect the ban was caused by me having my old university http://phystech.edu email in the profile.

@mipt_eng

, where I studied, is apparently under sanctions. While I'm happy to keep my account, sanctioning a university and banning its staff is madness.
