Funny business, we need to get them to move to Codeberg
- Can't wait for Codeberge to figure out federation on Activity Pub. Then other groups of people can host their own instance while we slowly move away from centralized repo hosts.
  
  That is brilliant, I really wish they do it ASAP
- Nah, codeberg is just another company, this could happen there just as it did on gh, granted it'll be less likely to happen there. They need to move to git platform controlled by them.
  
  Codeberg is not a company tho? It's a non-profit driven community organization
Another reason not to use GitHub.
Hopefully this was a genuine error on GitHub's part and not a sign to come.
Doesn't look that way from here?

  Huh, reinstated. I don't think my submission on Lemmy did the trick but good that it's back.
Mmmm no? Seems it works

  GitHub happened to backtrack about a minute after I posted it. Not that my submission had anything to do with that but I didn't doctor the image. I had a fork of that repo and the e-mail notification that my fork was blocked was sent a couple of hours ago but I don't check mails all the time. The backtracking happened to be in short succession of my submission by happenstance.
  
  Can you include the text of the email on the post for context? ❤️
  
  Christ, they track forks? I'm wondering if they wouldn't have known if you had manually pushed to a virgin repo.
