Suggest readers to take further action about github-do-not-ban-us

Good idea, let me know if I can be of any help.
Also in the end, if they shut down anyway, we can start our own git system in Iran (or even other sanctioned countries).
Maybe this whole thing could be a great inspiration for all of us.

We're not terrorists, we're not some evil people, we're all human, whether Persian, Asian, American...

@ConnerOrth, @BelegCuthalion @amir-yaghoobi @amirhs712
Thanks for your support and ideas.
We added a support section.
We think this is not just for Iranian people and we should show everyone developers have a powerful community.
Please read the support section and share that.

@BelegCuthalion Yes I think it is a great idea to have some status or use hashtags, can you create a PR for this?

[BelegCuthalion]

Also about Iranian flag, I'm not really sure now that it is a good suggestion now, as it might seem just a "nationalist" problem, which is not. It is rather a "humanist" one.

[BelegCuthalion]

Maybe a designer a could make some avatars or ribbons, and also I'm not really into social networks, so I'm not sure about the hashtag thing.

I think encouraging developers to star all other Iranian open-source projects in order to increase the number of Iranian repositories in GitHub trending lists can be helpful.

@rochakgupta regarding your twitter suggestion:

[rochakgupta]

@rochakgupta Of course, not only devs, it is a good way to also inform non-techy people.

I don't have an account, but it seems githubForEveryone is growing fast. Although github and natfriedman accounts are yet to make the smallest reaction. And there are also real people out there who think like

Well, nobody can reason with those kinds of users. We can try creating a post on Reddit.

[alirezazolanvari]

It's just a suggestion but actually being accused by few persons cannot be the drawbacks of this type of disagreement.

[rochakgupta]

Twitter would be a great way to spread this to a wider range of developers.

[amir-yaghoubi]

@BelegCuthalion Yeah, we should consider something other than the Iranian flag.

[amir-yaghoubi]

@1995parham @pesehr @amirhs712 @BelegCuthalion
We could create a GitHub organization too.

[BelegCuthalion]

@alirezazolanvari I think this is not necessary nor helpful, even it can have drawbacks. I already have these people (actually Iranian) that accuse this repo of "like hoarding".

also the UN

is a one big stinking lie. People being ignorant enough for such a nonsense to be said without any concern about being questioned is why I'm here. That's why we should let them know.

Thanks!
