Russian members of Russia's Linux User Group discussing results of sanctions on sites registered in Russia or where location of owner is set to Russia region.[0]

Some users stated that just changed location in site owners profile to "Kyiv, Ukraine" to avoid bans & access blocking:

> ну ок. сменил страну в профиле на украину, а город на киев.[1]

Translation:

> ah, ok. changed in profile country to Ukraine, and city to Kyiv[1]

i am surprised .ru is not temporarily blocked. email providers could refuse to allow .ru addresses and that would affect those who are not complete computer savvy, for the record i have no issues with the russian people who are anti-war but, i think the message has to get across that the path that is currently going with regards to ukraine is a dead end.

i could imagine a ton of services being interrupted if .ru was banned by major/minor email providers
