I have to respond to what @rostselmasch@lemmygrad.ml wrote in Linux for Leftists since I’m banned from there for not bending the knee to liberals. Funny how I got proven right about the CoC, but anyway…

I dont quite understand, but I guess it has nothing to do with my content? Like, I dont remember you and I hope I had nothing done to get you banned from there.

While the legal requirements can be understandable, what can’t be is that it took them 2+ years to act on it (sanctions were in place for a long time).

I know what you mean. With understandable I only mean, that according to Linus there are following what their lawyers are saying. And they also seem to be very quite about it, like the cant speak about it (something like NDA or they have to be carefull). They are still vague and the transparency is bad. Are they pressured or how much is the US government involved in all of this.

Think about it. They’re expecting people to prove they DON’T work for a company. How do you prove something like that? Send them a picture of an empty desk and point to the lack of employment contract? It’s a bullshit requirement that nobody can meet, thus ensuring Russians stay banned.

I really really dont actually know. My guess is that they probably have to provide documents about their place of work. This are personal information and nobody would be happy about this.

My biggest problem is, that everything is vague and still not clear. Its fishy, but there is probably more behind of it and they are hiding it. Either on purpose or, what I think is more possible, because they are somehow not allowed or strongly advised to not say anything.
