    I think given the current political situation this is the right call. No one knows what the Russian government might compel otherwise innocent devs to do.

    That said, we (and I mean society, not any particular individual) should be mindful that we don’t slip into bigotry.

    Save your sanity and do Settings -> Blocks -> Block instance -> lemmy.ml

    Also perhaps block me if you strongly disagree with the above.

    I’m surprised how many people treat GPL to ignore borders. The IP law still operates only by the rules your country decides.

    I can understand the desire for information to be free, but unless Open source movement becomes it’s own country the discussion should end there.

    You have to be arguing in bad faith if you’re trying to say “citizens of nation shouldn’t be responsible for their nation”

    The open source benefit is not that they can directly impact it, it’s that their government can’t

    I really hope this thread is filled with bots because otherwise you have really hit the bottom. The thread is filled with racism and bigotry, and it’s allowed only because it’s against russians…
