    Personally I’m glad the sanctions have some bite. You can’t expect to just keep living your life as you wish when your country is obliterating its neighbors and disrupting stability worldwide.

      And how exactly is banning these contributors supposed to stop the invasion? These people have no control or culpability.

        When Russian citizens understand there are direct consequences to them, Russian citizens stop supporting Putin’s actions.

          Putin couldn’t care less about the support from some random programmers. Be realistic, what do you expect them to do? Take up arms? Protest and get imprisoned? Vote in the sham elections?

          Targeting random civilians in hopes of political change is the strategy of terrorists.

        It’s supposed to put the LF in line with sanctions rather than at risk. They have no control over the invasion (aside from pushing a malicious patch that shuts down all Linux systems or something)

            Is this supposed to be a leading question? I’m not making the decisions, but there’s no reason to be happy about losing contributors in any case.

              Some people think if you’re not foaming at the mouth over this then you’re in total support. The threads have been bizarre

      Bruh I live in the USA. The state has been murdering people and disrupting stability since its inception. I’ve never been fired from any job because of it.
