DO IT

[–] john89@lemmy.ca 10 points 5 days ago

No, let's not encourage this even as a joke.

All cutting Russia off from the rest of the internet will do is making them more radicalized and give even less opportunities for good ideas and good people to fight back.

That's why China does it. That's why Iran did it.

Good

Edit: actually not good. Disinformation agencies will still have access, so hexbear and .lm will remain. Only citizens will be punished and will be cut from non-prpaganda sources.

Wait, so just like that, we're gonna lose access to lemmy.ml and hexbear? Oh no! Woe, woe unto us! How will we survive this?

They're really into cable cutting these days. Maybe we should help.

I see a lot of comparisons to China's great wall but i'd wager North Korea is way ahead on that...
