    That instance’s mods blocked me this morning lol.

    The amount of people simping for Russia in that other thread is insane. Apparently calling Ukraine a country of Nazis is fine, but saying Russia is a dictatorship is not lmao.

    If you see a tankie or pro Russia comment, 99% of the time it’s a lemmy.ml poster

        I guess, you got to check IP and see what country it belongs to, but if they use a VPS or VPN or both, you can’t really know where the person who manages the instance lives / operates.

      This topic has nothing to do with being “pro-Russian” instead its being pro-individualist and pro-open source

        I’m pro open source, which is why I don’t want the Russian government interfering with it for their own geopolitical bullshit.

          I agree, but people aren’t their government. Discriminating based on nationality is xenophobia.

            Did you miss the fact that it’s not a blanket ban on Russians? If you work for a sanctioned company, then I’m sorry but you are out. Missed the chance to jump ship in the last twenty years of Putin turning Russia into a dictatorship? Well, I hope you like being sent to your death. Sad times, but let’s not pretend that this is discrimination.

              From what I saw in the executive order it wasn’t limited to just sanctioned companies. Linus and other maintainers haven’t come out with which specific sanction they’re talking about so its just speculation

            I heard Russia is full of Nazis, and if that level of hearsay is fine for staging a multi year invasion and destroying a thousand years of history it’s just FINE for segregating bad-actors and persona non grata.

            Can’t deal with it? Move to a less shitty company not sanctioned by scumbags. Or even a less tribal country 🤷

              Linux maintainers aren’t invading Ukraine

      yep I got banned from there for simply stating that ukraine has a right to defend themselves after Modi called for “peace”. Apparently absolute pacifism is only required from one side.
