Linus is from Finland. Finns barely tolerate Russians under usual circumstances. These are not usual circumstances.
If he did that that would have been genuine discrimination. If he has to do it now because of sanctions, then ok fine. But otherwise I don't want to see an open source project treating people differently based on where they were born.
Come on lemmy, how is this pro-racism comment upvoted so many times? Please, think.
True he could have banned them long ago, it's his project in the end, but he didn't, he only did it after the sanctions
It is genuine xenophobia. I like in Poland, and its like you're either a homophobe, or a xenophobe- with pretty limited inbetween. (And there are plenty of people who are both)
