Seems that website is hosted on cloudflare and doesn't open in Russia, which blocks all cloudflare traffic. This makes me cry, thanks! App works 100%

Very thoughtful of you to have written a comment that makes me laugh as a response to a website that made me cry.

the fact that it doesn't open in russia makes me happy, to be honest

  Yes, of course. Russians are, in fact, not people and do not deserve to view Western sites, media or actually any web service hosted by Western nations. What kind of a take is this? If you strategically block an entire nation from viewing our sites and media, you're handing the state-run media there more power.

    FYI Russian ISPs are blocking Cloudflare, Cloudflare isn’t blocking Russia.

    Xenophobia is good because our NATO/US overlords which don't engage in propaganda tell us to hate our enemies. Then in X years they stop being our enemies and we point our irrational hate to someone else. It's also useful because you can label any dissenter as "pro Russian". The McCarthy strategy/red scare is very effective. We're the good guys though. Remember that. If we admit any wrongdoing ever, that's just history and now we are good. Or else.

    Standard "boo Russia, yay Ukraine" vibes + forgetting that Russian people are just regular people with regular-people hopes and fears.

      Yea, but I wonder how they try to justify (if those silly emotional bursts are justifiable) those statements.

        I think some people just support countries the way they support football clubs.

        I don't think they think as far as "justifying" it. They just get their opinions from the internet

        I'm sure among those Russians who want to go from Hacker News to "Cry once a week" site the portion of the Government supporters is minuscule.

  I'm currently in Russia trying to get a US visa for my CS PhD. Because I do CS, I got into a thing called administrative processing. For 95% of people, it takes days -- weeks, tops. Because of the colour of my passport, it has already lasted for 3 months. I know people who are waiting for 2 years to pass it. Why do you think I shouldn't have access to this website in Russia?
