This sucks, I've met so many very cool and interesting Russian people. The internet is meant to connect people not box them in an echo chamber.
yeah, you met two cool russian people. Millions of older family members are being bombarded with propaganda from the rest of the russians that are less cool.

So turning it into an intranet.
Lol peace suckas
And nothing of value was lost.
As a queer person in a place currently under russian control, I find a lot of the comments in favour of the censorship problematic. Being gay in public is illegal here, so a lot of our queer people find communities on the Internet. Being cut off from those would be terrible.
I got your 6.
Oh I bet you do... 😉
Sorry you’ve been saddled with that, friend. I hope things get better in Russia (or Ukraine, Transnistria, or Georgia, think that covers all the places they occupy) in your lifetime
I hope I'll escape before it collapses, otherwise life will be unnecessarily difficult for a decade or two

Wait, so just like that, we're gonna lose access to lemmy.ml and hexbear? Oh no! Woe, woe unto us! How will we survive this?
Gladly, no more fucking Putin Bots.
Unfortunately the bots are state sponsored so they will be allowed to bypass this.

You know ips can be filtered to still have access right?
Are you really that naive?
Their bots will access the net
I'm sure they will still be around.
Yeah that works real well for NK
Could they just stay that way?
Be good practice for when the rest of the world cuts them off for real.
Oh man old-games.ru will be gone from access
So much rare untouched abandonware there
Any got the backup torrent of russia, all of russia?
Good fucking riddance. (No offense cool innocent Russian people.)
What makes you think the worst parts won’t still get through or be allowed through…like troll farms or hacking groups?
Well if they cut themselves off, then why wouldn't western nations just finish the job and block all Russian IPs from connecting? Make them travel outside of Russia to set up propaganda machines. Sure, it won't have much of an effect, but it'll annoy them, and that's something.
They’d just do the same thing anyone does when the want to obscure their home IP. Just use VPNs, route though sympathetic counties, or other ways to hide who you are. It’d just be a constant game of whack-a-mole. Why do you think we can’t just block people who hack our infrastructure or companies can’t so easily block data thieves? If all it took was blocking a couple addresses or a range it would be easy.
Then who will post on reddit?
