C2S server for matrix.org accounts is blocked in Russia using deep packet inspection (DPI). That means people can no longer access their accounts without resorting to censorship circumvention technology.

The website and S2S federation server are still reachable from Russia.

@cybertailor а, так вот почему мне гномовские СМС жалуются, что не могут подключиться к серверу :blobcattableflip:

#Mozilla silently banned addons for circumventing state censorship in Russia:

"I am one of the developers of the Censor Tracker add-on, which is listed on Mozilla’s add-on repository. We recently noticed that our add-on is now unavailable in Russia, despite being developed specifically to circumvent censorship in Russia.

We have not changed any visibility settings, nor have we received any emails regarding this action.

Our Russian users now see this message when they visit the page of Censor Tracker:

That page is not available in your region

The page you tried to access is not available in your region.

You may be able to find what you’re looking for in one of the available extensions or themes, or by asking for help on our community forums.

Can anyone suggest or explain what this is related to? Was there some request from the Russian authorities to make the extension unavailable in Russia or is there some other reason for this decision on Mozilla’s part?"

@cybertailor @ShadowJonathan censorship and sanctions are two separate things, mozilla is an American company bound by their laws.

When Russia decides to cause ~1million combined deaths with the most pointless war of our lifetime, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that certain things get blocked, as that is the point of said sanctions.

They legally have no choice but comply here, your anger is wholly misdirected.

@cybertailor They were probably bribed.
The Russian Federation is a massive country with a reasonably sized economy, Google managed to bribe them, and if they can, anyone can.
I wouldn't at all be surprised if this is what happened, but it only makes everything more shit than it already is.

@cybertailor@wetdry.world The page looks a lot like if you access uBlockOrigin's page from China. (Because of a Chinese court ruling, Mozilla is required to block uBO and other adblockers from being downloaded by Chinese internet users)

Also the HTTP status code returned is HTTP 451 (unavailable due to legal reasons). A reference to Fahrenheit 451. ​:neocat_facepalm:​

My take on choosing a #PEP517 build backend for your project

Why not meson instead of hatchling AND setuptools?
