Fedi.Tips 🎄

The long-running Fedi server mstdn.social (not to be confused with mastodon.social 🙂 ) has just received a takedown request from the Russian government for hosting @Bellingcat, a news site which has long been critical of Putin:

mstdn.social/@stux/11365246164

Thankfully mstdn.social isn't in Russia so Putin has no power over it.

If anyone wants to turn this into a Streisand Effect kind of thing, you might want to follow @Bellingcat and slip a donation to @stux at mstdn.social/@stux/11362379158

@FediTips Personally, I wouldn't, as I don't consider it particularly well-run, but whatever

@FediTips @Bellingcat @stux well, hetzner has been quite trigger happy closing down sites, even for bogus abuse reports. So let's hope they don't do so again.

@FediTips @Bellingcat I remember when Stux said he would consider being a cop. Maybe bellingcat should switch instances while they’re at it.

They also could run an own instance on the bellingcat domain.

@precariousmind No me extraña que lo baneen. Mirando en la propia web de esta gente, en las cuentas anuales de 2023 aparece toda esta lista de organizaciones y fundaciones, que no son mas que tapaderas de la CIA.

Listado de fundaciones y organizaciones colaboradoras con bellingcat.

I just started following @Bellingcat. If Putin is worried about it, it must be worth following it. Thanks for the tip!
