I don't know how this is relevant. I am very much against this war, but there is very little I can do to stop it as a regular citizen. I'm currently doing everything I can to flee the country, as I don't think my family is not safe here. I don't understand how this is supposed to harm Putin's regime or any of his supporters.

  I think you're right. I've changed my perspective on this issue and added some clarifying comments in the thread.

Disrupting the everyday lives of Russian citizens is an effective way to incite change. Some will choose to flee the chaos, but some will choose to protest and fight the regime. Will there be good Russians unfairly hurt as collateral damage? Yes. But the Ukrainian civilians being gunned down in the streets and having their homes blown up are also being unfairly hurt. There is very little they can do to stop it, but they've been forced to drop everything and fight. Like it or not, you're on one side of a war. It's to be expected that your life will be inconvenienced - so have lives on the other side. You can flee - nothing wrong with that - or you can protest, but you can't hope that you won't be impacted.

  > Disrupting the everyday lives of Russian citizens No it doesnt because is not a democratic country, why is it so hard for people like you to understand that things work very different in a democratic country than in non-democratic country? Do you know what happens when you are in a country that doesnt respect human rights and you go to "protest"? Do you know what happens when you, as a citizen with no power, try to fight a military regime? Do you really think, russians right now are enjoyinig this and will somehow march to get Putin's head because their quality of life will be miserable now? no, they wont, because the moment they start doing it, they will be repressed and killed, and there you will be, super happy sharing your support posts to those people the worst part of all of these, is that you don't realize that one of the goals of putin is to undermine his own state, so he can keep power for the years to come, and here you are, helping him :), good job at making every russian life even worse.

    Putin is in his 70s. He does not have years to come.

    No place was born a democracy. Protest isn't even a necessary event. If the reward of continuing the war becomes less than the damage of continuing it, it only needs Putin. Regardless, he always enjoyed a very high approval rating while amassing his position. >Do you know what happens when you are in a country that doesnt respect human rights and you go to "protest"? >Do you know what happens when you, as a citizen with no power, try to fight a military regime? Luckily I am not Ukrainian, so I am not having this discovery forced upon me.

  This line of argument leads to dropping cruise missiles on “strategic targets” … Maybe if we blow up enough Russian power plants they’ll spontaneously overthrow Putin!

Yup, it's actually making things harder for us to move away from Russia. One more thing to deal with. And this NameCheap's decision didn't hurt Putin even a tiny bit.

Namecheap is doing this for ideological reasons but this single action should (in theory) disrupt a lot of existing malware connections to hostile infrastructure.

Good luck to you. Seriously. But what does anyone expect? All this international business depends on stable, peaceful relations. Russia broke that. The party will not go on. We know you're not personally responsible for the invasion of Ukraine. And that's not any different than the embargoes during any prior armed conflict.
