    He’s from Finland so somehow I don’t think he is going to shed a tear over some Russians.

    The current actions of Russia are concerning. I think the move to remove Russians is not all that controversial.

        Was that before or after Russia allied with the Nazis to kill the Polish?

      I can also understand it as a temporatory solution. I understand that Linus wouldn’t want to see his product used by russians commiting war crimes. They can still contribute to linux apps, only the kernel is prohibited. But i think if the situation gets better, russians should be allowed to contribute again. But i got much more upset on that people call Mozilla woke for its moderation efforts to combat hate speech aimed on marginalized groups. War criminals and the far-right has no place in any open-source community, as the concept itself is closer to the left wing by nature. I might be a bit unpopular with this, these are controversial stuff
