Let’s see how their ban will work, it’s quite interesting… 🤔

Hahaha, and then russia wonders why they are so hated. Censoring people who can't even control. As a member of NAFO, this looks like another prime example of the kremlin's intellectual weakness. Pathetic.
@stux @Bellingcat

@stux @Bellingcat
Btw. roskomnadzor blocks mstdn.social and whole Hetzner for retail internet users.

@stux @Bellingcat
Very sorry you have to deal with this. Not my instance but happy to chip in if/when needed.
#FediSolidarity

@stux Unfortunately, you should be ready for Hetzner to kill your account.

@Bellingcat

@stux Sounds like @Bellingcat could use a couple of mirror accounts.

To rkn.gov.ru I refer to the attached image.

@stux@mstdn.social
just send a kind reply 🍆💦

@stux @Bellingcat while I'm not a member of your instance, thank you for your transparency in this matter.

@stux @Bellingcat

The fediverse is starting to come under attacks by state actors.

This will not end well. We are not prepared.

@stux @Bellingcat Well if Russia wants them gone then they must be worth following

@stux "Watcha gonna go? Give me a 2 undecillion rouble fine?"

@Bellingcat

@stux @Bellingcat Classic case of Streisand effect. First thing I do upon hearing this? Follow @Bellingcat - they must be doing something right

@stux @Bellingcat

In practical terms, is there anything they can do to you or the OP, other than send pissy messages about it?

@stux Thanks to Russia for letting me know that @Bellingcat is on Mastodon, I guess. Followed.

@stux @Bellingcat Following @Bellingcat right now. Solidarity behind @stux !

@stux @Bellingcat

Fuck them wherever, whenever, in which way ever you can. Fuck them, and Fuck them until they cease to exist in any form on this planet, besides as ex-government-functionaries who now are in jail.
Fuck the Russian government.

@stux @Bellingcat NOT surprising at all.

@stux @Bellingcat
btw. since you're hosting users likely to be targeted by a government:

After dealing with this abuse request stuff, you might want to take a look at this, if you haven't already: https://www.devever.net/~hl/xmpp-incident

@stux @Bellingcat Roskomnadzor is a designated entity in the EU. Is Hetzner doing anything with their demands other than ignoring them or immediate refusal not material support?

@stux Have these guys got no shame? After influencing every single corporate site, they have the nerve to try to step onto the only place where corporate rules don't apply.

Fuck them.

@stux @Bellingcat Send Putin the Russian joke about Stalin's pipe: Stalin can't find his pipe, so he calls in Beria, his head of the secret police. Stalin says,
"Beria, someone stole my pipe. Find the guy." Beria says, "I'll get right on it." About a half hour later, Stalin calls Beria back and says, "You can call off your dogs. The pipe fell being my desk." Beria says, "What a pity. We have 13 suspects and 12 have already confessed."

@stux you should reply with a singular laughing emoji

@stux @Bellingcat 👍💯👍

@stux @Bellingcat Followed.

@stux @Bellingcat I doubt it's what the complainant was after, but I'm now following @Bellingcat 😻

@stux Good luck, hope you prevail! Following @Bellingcat now.

@stux And this is why I am honored and grateful that you are my admin.

@stux @Bellingcat fuck that Putin asshole and his request.
However, given that I heard about at least three instances of "hetzner decided to cancel my contract and deleted my data after just one email", I would advise for backups that are not hosted on hetzner and maybe a rough idea where you would like to host if hetzner drops you.
Also, a good time to get your domain name recovery codes etc etc.

@stux @Bellingcat
Do you have the full letter? What law are they referencing?

@stux @Bellingcat good luck it's decentralized architecture for a reason

@stux @Bellingcat
Whiners gonna whine.
russia and its clownshow of a kleptocratic govt can fuck right off.

@stux @Bellingcat
Naz*Rus* looks more alike radam (in Japanese Animation Tekkaman Blade) than gremlin as of the evilness.

@stux @Bellingcat

Prolly some troll from Xitler’s little sewer made a request.

@stux

You need to answer with UA poststamps:

"Russian warship, go and f**k yourself" (as reported by worldwide media)
@Bellingcat

@stux @Bellingcat the gremlin

@stux@mstdn.social @Bellingcat@mstdn.social I hope is not a Hetznered case again

@stux @Bellingcat Russian ministry, not sure they have any real power outside their borders at all tbh.

@stux @Bellingcat in the words of the defenders of Snake Island:

Русский военный корабль, иди на хуй

@stux

mv abuse.txt /dev/null

@Bellingcat @stux 👍 Also Slava Ukrainii.

@stux @Bellingcat
The Canadians have an expression that is perfect for moments like this, "Go fuck your hat."

@stux @Bellingcat
Thank you for your decency.
No pasarán.

@stux

@Bellingcat has a new follower, Streisand effect is going well, Thanks Putler

@stux @Bellingcat A stuck pig squeaks. #Russia is the pig, and its days are numbered.

@stux @Bellingcat lol. Lmao.

@stux @Bellingcat will hetzner share your opinion?

After all, they really can't wait for the gas flow to resume...

@stux

Damn, not that it's needed, but that's one heck of an endorsement.

@Bellingcat

@stux
"Sincerely" 😄
@Bellingcat

@stux @Bellingcat
Please let us know what's happening in the coming days. I'm using a few #Hetzner services and if they decide to act like a ruSSian propaganda puppet I'll move all my data to somewhere else, let them know why I did it and tell others about it.

@stux @Bellingcat

Just want to say thank you!

@stux Thx for attention, I didnt know they were at mastodon. 💚 @Bellingcat

@stux @Bellingcat good call! 💪

@stux @Bellingcat Great job! Appreciated for what you have done!

@stux @Bellingcat Hopefully nothing happens though when I've gotten abuse reports from unsavory countries like that they froze my account until I complied

@stux @Bellingcat @artcollisions
Thanks to the Streisand Effect, I just learned about and now follow @Bellingcat.

Thank you, Russian government!

Stux is about to use the Castle Doctrine to the fullest extent, and I'm here for it.

@stux @Bellingcat If "The Federal Service for the Supervision of Communications" isn't the most dystopian phrase I've ever heard, it certainly makes the top five.

@stux @Bellingcat THANK YOU!

That's all.

@stux @Bellingcat Russia, if you're listening:

go fuck yourself.

@stux @Bellingcat
Send them a nice picture ☺️

@stux @Bellingcat should be proud to win this award :)

@stux @Bellingcat Someone should get a badge or bumper sticker for that.

@stux @Bellingcat

Great joke, isn't it... 😬

@stux @Bellingcat Hi! Russian here, they are just bullying or looking for more reasons to ban hetzner or Mastodon server in Russia (since their argument only makes sense in Russian regime's "law"). I think Hetzner is smart enough not to take any actions based on that joke of a reasoning (I'm looking at you, Apple!).

@stux
Unfortunately, Hetzner may not accept that and just take down your server, considering what happened to itch.io last week...
@Bellingcat

@stux @Bellingcat I say congrats to Putin for exposing more people to Bellingcat.

@stux @Bellingcat perfect moment for a donation to keep this mastodon server running, keep up the good work!

@stux Good job!

@stux @Bellingcat

Hear, hear! Let me know if I can be of assistance.

@stux
Ah great #Bellingcat are on here too - that's an immediate follow!👍
