Why?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You really have to ask?

I was an idiot and read it as .ro for Romania. Of course I know about Russia and the war.
Still I also wouldn't comment on people posting .com-links, even though the US are fighting endless illegal wars for decades and the president is wrecking democracy for a police state.

.com is not the cctld for the us, that would be .us

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I know right.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I do not, care to explain?

im so lost...

.ru was for precautions against DMCA and the russian federation thing on github was just jokes because we had a ru domain

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And why is it a problem to have a ru domain? Or is it just a russia bad thing?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you consider trying to genocide a neighboring country "political reasons" I guess.

Is Russia being imperialist? Yes. Is Russia committing genocide? No.

The forced relocation of 1.6m Ukrainians to Russia is an act of genocide. Hundreds of thousands of these are children.
