Here is the message where he found out what happened:

I didn’t receive any information about it but when creating a support ticket I was told my account has been flagged and I had to do some extra verification. I’ve created a support ticket now and will keep you posted. I’ll believe it’s nothing major though, I use 2FA everywhere, the last commit on all repos is what I expect, and all sessions and usages look fine

Absolutely fuck Github and Microslop, they can just vanish your projects without notice whenever they want with barely any justification for it, and then take their sweet time to fix it too.

    What is it going to take to push FLOSS software out of GitHub? Everyone here can move their projects literally anywhere else today. I did it for my own (roughly 10 projects) five years ago and it only took about an hour:

    1. Create an account with Codeberg, GitLab, or whatever you like.
    2. Use their built-in tools to copy your repo over to your new account. In GitLab’s case, this will even migrate over some of the additional features, like issues.
    3. Update the places where you publish the project: PyPI, npm, whatever, with the new project home URL.
    4. Archive the old project on GitHub, with a pointing link to the new project home.
    5. (Optional) announce the above in any of the social spaces where people care about your project.

      for anyone reading this, Codeberg/Forgejo can migrate issues too! use the “new migration” function in the menu where you create new repositories, and tick the box for copying issues and wiki. it is a one time copy only, though, so if you are dedicated you should restrict issues on the github repo to collaborators only, so that people can’t open new issues (which won’t be able to be synced anymore), but old ones are still readable in their original form.

      syncing issues cannot be done later, it’s for new repos only
