We should de-peer the russian ISPs from the internet.
- cellis 5y agoThat would just further isolate working class Russians. A dictatorship doesn’t need consent of the governed to start a war so many Russian people may not approve and now you can’t even communicate with them. I think this would be incredibly short sighted.

- rcpt 5y agoTelegram would do ok at 14.4
- x86_64Ubuntu 5y agoThis will just lead to a further balkanization of the internet. China and Russia aren't going to sit by and be beholden to western tech and financial stacks when they can be cut off at any time.
