Admin team of LGBTQIA.Social Mastodon instance received abuse email from Russian censorship agency, where they demanded to remove an account. The account in question represented a small group that ran a collaborative blog for LGBTQIA youth and adults in Russia.
Shortly after refusal to comply with agency’s demands, the instance was blocked and is now unreachable from Russia.
All previous blocks of Fediverse instaces in Russia were related to hosting CSAM.
Waiting for a tankie essay about how it’s actually an inclusive move from russia or something like that. The last thread about China blocking lemmy.ml was a goldmine.
Hexbear thread dunking on this:

Highlights include
Funny how we constantly get told we support capitalist Russia, yet they never actually provide evidence for that.
I’m not surprised tho as lying about communists seems to be second nature to Western bootlickers
And
i love how that dude makes an absolutely ridiculous assumption, as i’ve never seen a “tankie” deny that current russia is reactionary as fuck, but since he’s saying Bad Thing about The Tankies everyone just goes “hmm yea those tankies amirite? smh”
liberals are fucking idiots, they never have any idea of what they’re actually talking about and just throw around concepts and categories with the level of understanding of a monkey playing with a power tool
And
“We support the Russian Federation’s opposition to US imperialism. We oppose their reactionary government including the state suppression of lgbtq+ people, minority nationalities and ethnic groups, etc. Using these issues as cudgels for US/NATO imperialism hurts all people in Russia, including oppressed minorities, and undermines the progressive nature of those liberation struggles in that country.”
“Smdh tankies are pro-russia homophobes”
Wait, do people genuinely defend moves like this?
This is on .ml, so I’m sure we’ll see some of it shortly. Or this post disappears out of a window.
They do and I fucking cringe when they call themselves lefties.
That’s the different kind of lefties. I am talking about tankies that think that Russia and China are socialist states that fight the big imperialist
They don’t, you’ve fallen for anti-communist disinfo
Of course! They say they do it to protect themselves against Capitalist Corruption!
Saw a thread on hexbear and all I see is this lmao

Right. However, instances hosted in Russia can’t federate with lgbtqia.space anymore.

Hm, I feel that should be easily worked around through proxies, but the problem is that the Russian authorities would go after those russian instances then
