Don’t care.

They can still write and submit, they just can’t be maintainers, because every second there’s a single uninvited Russian in Ukraine, Russia should go fuck itself.

You know what would be a great way to establish that standard?

GETTING YOUR FUCKING ASSES THE FUCK OUT OF UKRAINE!!!

And I’m only suggesting this because every day you don’t, will absolutely be a horrifying misery for every Russian, further destroying the fabric of the country and guaranteeing the aftermath will be less recoverable.

I wish I was Levar Burton… :(

They migrated to lemmy.ml because they kept getting blocked.

OK, this is bs.

They’re not banning devs, they’re banning maintainers.

Russians can submit as many patches as they like for review, they just can’t sign off on their commits themselves.

Seems pretty fair to me.

Ee is cool, but your upload limits were crap.

Seriously, the hexbears just moved one over to keep getting exposure.

Or, alternately, and I’m just spitballing randomly here… Russians could gtfo of Ukraine and go home?

We used to be able to pull it off, then citizens united and other lobbying meant corporations can ‘add to cart’ any laws they want.

Break campaign finance and things can actually get better.

Yeah, but so are Russians, so it works out.

Russia is the existential threat to Russia, that’s literally all of Russian history in a nutshell followed by ‘and then it got worse’.

Russia will collapse into multiple fragments, because Russians are just idiots who have never agreed on anything without a gun pointed at their families.

It’s hilarious how lucky China is to have the largest natural resource motherlode right next door, Russia was asking to be dismantled!

Seriously, you can’t unshit a pool.

They can, the politicians just have to have the balls.

Teddy Roosevelt knew how to handle cartels.

Yeah, I think thats still really brushing the line.

This is a carrot and stick thing, by making Russia an extreme example we can steer them back from the edge.

But we do need to have other sanctions, they’re just being dickholes.

A world war would involve multiple countries on both sides, dragged in by mutual ties and a recognition of which camp would have it in for them in victory.

This is hilarious. That anyone would stand up for Russia, one of the most hated states on the planet.

China especially, they would watch and wait till Russia was about to fail, and take their eastern territories, giving them both the land and resources they are so desperate for.

Russia is a country without meaningful allies (oh, I’m sorry, I forgot north Korea), in a world that hates them and wants to see them suffer for their past actions.

Poland alone would do anything for the chance to revisit Russia with a fraction of the pain they’ve caused over the centuries, and nobody would dare stop them.

This is inevitable, the Russian decline guarantees their predation and destruction at the hands of their growing neighbors.

Like I said, popcorn futures.

I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it’s not just lack of real news, it’s lack of history knowledge too."

Man, it’s like you spend centuries brutalizing all your neighbors, if not outright conquering them and enforcing holocausts, and this is the thanks you get!

Yeah, China are being “generic assholes” right now, but not crossing the lines into “serious villain shit” yet, at least for people who aren’t in China.

But if they touch Taiwan, oh hell yeah.

Really hope this argument reaches SCotUS.

It’s always good when you finally hear what their real beliefs are, not just the bs they lie and pretend are their beliefs.
