People! Pay attention! THIS is why censorship is so bad. THIS is the slippery slope it leads to. Censoring information is just the first step in controlling the public, and keeping them uninformed/misinformed.
It’s the same as burning books. It’s the same as shutting down websites. It’s the same as only allowing state only channels to report news.
Back in the 80s the USA knew about chernobyl about a week after it happened. Russian citizens didn’t know for 3-4 weeks later.
China knew about Covid in August of 2019. They tried to supress the news until it finally leaked in November 2019.
Now russia wants to supress information of how badly the “special military operation” is going…almost 3 years into a 3 day operation.
So make sure you take note when people around you try to supress information, and ask WHY they want to do that. Looking at you, Florida…
Russians: We had a nuclear incident
Americans: it must be really bad then
Russians: We never said it’s bad
Americans: Listen, if it was not bad, you wouldn’t even admit you had a nuclear incident.
This is, in fact, bad but please don’t advocate for slippery slope arguments.
Why?
It’s a slippery slope that’s why
yo dawg
Slippery slope arguments can be used maliciously but not all of them are necessarily malicious. This is the problem with bird-brains who cite fallacies without understanding them.
So does that mean less bots trying to steal my steam credentials?
Fewer.

I care. But then, I suppose I’m nobody.

If you don’t care, that’s something you can admit. But don’t speak for everyone. I was pointing out the correct word in case you did care.

My guy I just am a pedantic person, I don’t know anything about targeted harassment. I’m sorry that my comment came off as harassment, that was not my intent.

I’m sorry that I contributed to that, but please understand I could not have known ahead of time that you’re being harassed. I hope things get better for you.
Block steam, then the uprising will begin.
Vietnam did this and nobody cared enough to do anything
Cs and dota is so big in Russia surely they will care
Would be so good to finally have a russian free Dota, queuing in Europe and 6-8 of the 10 players are Russians every game isn’t fun
Oooh no!!!
Anyway, anyone have any good gluten free cake recipes?
Looks like Matrix is about to see an influx of users. And they can’t shut down Matrix.
I highly doubt regular users will exchange Discord for Matrix. Don’t get me wrong, Matrix is great and all, has some great features, but given its open decentralized way it is and probably always will be mostly for tech savvy people. Now given how half of the Discord (the part I know) is memes and gifs spam, it’s not really easily reproducible with Matrix. At least last time I checked Element still didn’t have gif picker…
Sounds like a good thing overall.
Many Russians already use matrix, they may not use it seriously but they use it.
I mean in the past few days I’ve seen like 20 Russian trolls, spamming scat porn, racial slurs, racist memes, extremist memes, you name it.
So yeah I would say that matrix is already decently popular among Russians. Maybe not for legitimate use but it’s still definitely popular among them.
I doubt it’s anyhow important for them, it’s just Discord is one anothee channel to block that isn’t used by his core support base, and the goal is to block everything or\and draw nice monthly reports about that process.
This is great news. It should help justify banning TikTok! We all work together to save the children now! \s
