>"woke" people were massively downvoted and banned, then people who thought women deserve same rights as men, then anyone who criticized government Interesting, the poster below has the opposite view: >Owners and moderators of Habr despise Russia >they always optimized the karma system to stimulate the authors not for posting original interesting content but to stimulate those who hate Russia and downvote those who love their country My take would be that Habr is OK with the both views and people only notice the bans/downvotes when posts which align with their political views are banned/downvoted.

I mean, to know who is right the only way is to go back and look for yourself, correct? https://habr-com.translate.goog/ru/companies/habr/articles/653685/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp&_x_tr_hist=true https://habr-com.translate.goog/ru/companies/habr/articles/6...

  Looks pretty generically neutral to me. What do you find objectionable here? Edit: I guess the comments are loading for me in goog translate. Is that what I should be looking at?

    That post was a reaction to the war and a lot of people trying to talk about it and getting banned for it. It was one of the major exodus triggers after which the site was practically empty of engagement for months. Here's a link to comments, the gist is a bunch of people are mad that admins are choosing the "no politics" route: https://habr-com.translate.goog/ru/companies/habr/articles/653685/comments/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp&_x_tr_hist=true https://habr-com.translate.goog/ru/companies/habr/articles/6...

      People who like to talk politics absolutely everywhere have ruined every single social network I know. "No politics" is probably the most intelligent way to go.

        You'd fit right in on habr, in a society specifically built to not discuss politics. Complimentary tumbleweed in comments included!

        The problem is that what is considered “politics” has vastly expanded over the past decade or so. Most controversial topics today wouldn’t have been considered “politics” in the past.

        In context of habr, even asking "why'd my internet/corporate vpn stopped working?" or "why did I suddenly get summoned for a medical checkup to enlistment office?" are politics.

        No politics is only feasible if your life or your existence isn't considered political in itself, or maybe if you can hide how you challenge the status quo without harming yourself.
