    Linus is from Finland. Finns barely tolerate Russians under usual circumstances. These are not usual circumstances.

      True he could have banned them long ago, it’s his project in the end, but he didn’t, he only did it after the sanctions

      If he did that that would have been genuine discrimination. If he has to do it now because of sanctions, then ok fine. But otherwise I don’t want to see an open source project treating people differently based on where they were born.

      Come on lemmy, how is this pro-racism comment upvoted so many times? Please, think.

        Oh no, the treaty-breaking, nuke-threatening, war-crime-committing invading force is being discriminated against!

        Holy shit, gtfo. Maybe don’t be an actual cunt if you don’t want people to “discriminate” against you? The guy didn’t even fire all Russians, only those tied to sanctioned companies. He did less than should’ve been done. But that’s only because what should be done to Russia at this point is assassinating their leader, disarming the country, executing the army, installing a puppet government that ensures economic and military inferiority, and selling tickets to piss on Putins grave for the rest of the world to blow off some steam.

        Edit: here’s a view from a Russian, maybe that helps:

      It is genuine xenophobia. I like in Poland, and its like you’re either a homophobe, or a xenophobe- with pretty limited inbetween. (And there are plenty of people who are both)
