That makes sense when it harms business being done in that country, people’s opportunity to find jobs and stuff like that.
But blocking people from working for free on open source projects where there’s nothing to be gained is harming progress, not individuals or countries. That’s not what sanctions were made for.

By your logic developers in the US shouldn’t be allowed to contribute to free software either, after all the US is committing genocides and threatening to invade other countries
CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Well, yeah. That’s literally the point of sanctions.

The point is to damage their economy, not reject free contributions for non-critical but useful software projects
Litebit@lemmy.world 2 months ago
yes, we are free to block US developers.
