Can we see where someone is hosting a Lemmy (domain, insnace, thing?)
Comment on Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers
TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoThat instance’s mods blocked me this morning lol.
The amount of people simping for Russia in that other thread is insane. Apparently calling Ukraine a country of Nazis is fine, but saying Russia is a dictatorship is not lmao.
If you see a tankie or pro Russia comment, 99% of the time it’s a lemmy.ml poster

I guess, you got to check IP and see what country it belongs to, but if they use a VPS or VPN or both, you can’t really know where the person who manages the instance lives / operates.

Sometimes it is posted on the instance front page or about page.

Well I doubt it’s Mali.

France. Maybe. It’s mostly guesswork, but gives the same location for hexbear.net.
It’s mostly cosplay commies rather than actual Russians.

Yea I figured it’s just a bunch of middle class kids who have the privilege of being online and complain. Also fuck Hexbear…all my homies hate Hexbear.

yep I got banned from there for simply stating that ukraine has a right to defend themselves after Modi called for “peace”. Apparently absolute pacifism is only required from one side.

This topic has nothing to do with being “pro-Russian” instead its being pro-individualist
TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I’m pro open source, which is why I don’t want the Russian government interfering with it for their own geopolitical bullshit.
aidan@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I agree, but people aren’t their government. Discriminating based on nationality is xenophobia.

Did you miss the fact that it’s not a blanket ban on Russians? If you work for a sanctioned company, then I’m sorry but you are out. Missed the chance to jump ship in the last twenty years of Putin turning Russia into a dictatorship? Well, I hope you like being sent to your death. Sad times, but let’s not pretend that this is discrimination.
TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Banning contributions from sanctioned russian companies is not xenophobia. Pipe down.

I heard Russia is full of Nazis, and if that level of hearsay is fine for staging a multi year invasion and destroying a thousand years of history it’s just FINE for segregating bad-actors and persona non grata.
Can’t deal with it? Move to a less shitty company not sanctioned by scumbags. Or even a less tribal country 🤷

Hexgears and of course lemmygrad.ml are of the same kind

😄exactly! Phu, the brain gymnastics that those people are capable of is mind bending 🤣
Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
Yeah, but most instances already defederated from them.
