    "Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.

    It’s entirely clear why the change was done, it’s not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to “grass root” it by Russian troll factories isn’t going to change anything.

    And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren’t troll farm accounts - the “various compliance requirements” are not just a US thing.

    If you haven’t heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by “news”, I don’t mean Russian state-sponsored spam.

    As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. 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."

    fuck yes. fuck russia. fuck russians.

      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!

      You should approach the same fuck first approach to Israel and the us with what they are doing in Gaza and Lebanon while you are at it. That would show your adherence to standard behaviour in the light of current genocides going on.

      Sure Russia is bad so fuck Russia but do you have the balls or boobs to say fuck Israel ?

        It’s even funnier when we realize Russia is possibly the reason there even is an Israel-Palestine conflict.

        Jews fled Russia between 1880 and 1920. While a large majority emigrated to the United States, some turned to Zionism. In 1882, members of Bilu and Hovevei Zion made what came to be known the First Aliyah to Palestine, then a part of the Ottoman Empire.

        The Tsarist government sporadically encouraged Jewish emigration. In 1890, it approved the establishment of “The Society for the Support of Jewish Farmers and Artisans in Syria and Palestine”[51] (known as the “Odessa Committee” headed by Leon Pinsker) dedicated to practical aspects in establishing agricultural Jewish settlements in Palestine.

        So they encouraged and supported those settlements.

        Yes, fuck Israel and fuck Russia. Not sure why I’m responding to this dumb bait, but here we are. It’s not a straw man argument when both countries are run by literal human feces

      No changes until China decides to invade Taiwan and the sanctions that Russia currently has begin.

        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.

          I mean there are chinese spies in europe, which suppress, bully and sometimes even kill chinese journalists who have fleed (?) to europe. And thats not even a conspiracy theory, there were investigative journalists who have uncovered this in several countries. So I’d say that china is reeealy close to that villain line

            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.

            Yes.

            And when they start murdering people we bring down the wrath of God on them.

            That’s the problem with Russia, you have to be nice, up to the point they cross the line, then you turn the doom music on.

            We needed to start crushing their balls with a hydraulic press when they took Crimea, this is on us.

              I mean, it probably would’ve been ideal then but as usual, America was recovering from/embroiled in the last Conservative disasters (financial crisis, Afghanistan/Iraq.) And Obama had just burned a lot of political capital giving people healthcare.

    It’s really awesome to expel by nationality, even of people who’ve long moved out and immigrated. /s

    Honestly fuck Russia ofc, but this goes a bit too far into the grey area between hawkish-reasonable and discriminatory, and on the latter side I’m not sure who and/or what this is meant to help, not does it seem particularly fair to those individual contributors to keep their code yet remove attribution and mailing list entries.
