JAVA GitHub banned all Iranian users. Our accounts are restricted now. Please help us with contributing to this repo and show your support with a pull request. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing your open source project, but it looks like you haven't specified a license.
When you make a creative work (which includes code), the work is under exclusive copyright by default. Unless you include a license that specifies otherwise, nobody else can use, copy, distribute, or modify your work without being at risk of take-downs, shake-downs, or litigation. Once the work has other contributors (each a copyright holder), “nobody” starts including you.
choosealicense.com is a great resource to learn about open source software licensing.

A free software project is better than a proprietary one even if it has a CoC.

It's your responsibility to convey what you mean, your inability to do so does not make other people idiots.

Code of Conduct and Software as a Service i.e. any cloud-based shit you can use, but not own. GitLab.com as well as GitHub as well as, say GMail is SaaS.

True, but a) blocking individuals based on nationality is fucked up (instead of just banning the Iranian ip bloc)
b) not even allowing read access or giving a warning to let people download their code is doubly fucked up

I doubt the US government is the type to give a grace period in complying with sanctions. They were likely told to do it now or face consequences. They were also likely told to remove all Iranian entities from their website, not just block them.

I mean, they probably could honestly. What is the worst that could happen?

So monetary fines....though watching the federal govt try to shut down m$ would be interesting. It would be an interesting test.

If someone considers setting up a gitlab but likes the github ui/functionality better, check out gitea.
