      The fact that Russia does not remove maintainers for political reasons.

        Bro… Russia arrests protesters from the streets for committing the crime of holding up blank sheets of paper… Russia throws people in jail for political reasons all the time. How are those the actions of the free country? I have a trans friend living in Russia right now who is literally unable to speak about being trans online because she might be accused of “spreading lgbtq+ propaganda”.

        The funniest story about this is that time AST (Russian book publisher) literally redacted the text of a biography about an openly-gay Italian director called Pier Paolo Pasolini in order to comply with Russian anti-gay “propaganda” laws… and then published it with the redactions clearly visible:

        Literally redacted lmao. Does this scream “free country” to you?

          This whole discussion exists because the USA aren’t a free country either, or else the US-based Linux Foundation would not have to act like it does, I thought?

            This discussion exists because dumbass Russian apologists won’t shut up about it

            I encourage you to google the paradox of tolerance, because you sound like a Fox News propagandist saying ‘so much for the tolerant left am I right?’

            Russia made its bed. The response from the US is exactly that - a response. Even the most tolerant society will HAVE TO be intolerant towards intolerance in order to exist.

            You can understand this or not, I really don’t care. But at least someone attempted to explain to you why you’re getting buried in downvotes.

              I’m old enough and have been on the internet long enough not to judge the value of my statements by how many thumbs up they get. With regard to global politics, however, I think it’s perfectly reasonable to exchange arguments, and I find it regrettable that many people seem to think that pressing voting symbols is enough of an argument.

                This isn’t an argument or even a discussion. You’re just beating a dead horse and the rest of us are sick of seeing it.

        Is this excluding the bit where they made criticising their war in Ukraine punishable by up to 15 years in prison?

          The most normal Linux user showed up, I see.

          This wasn’t a governmental decision this was a single person making a decision.

          According to governmental regulations, yes. Please read up and try again.

        Why remove a maintainer when they fall out of the 14th floor of their penthouse after shooting themselves in the back of the head twice?

            I couldn’t tell you, not much real news escapes the iron curtain.

            Kinda like how not a lot of dissidents escape the iron curtain.
