Holy shit.

The Russian gov send in an abuse request for the @Bellingcat to be removed from mstdn.social :amaze:

I am not gonna comply, and have replied to Hetzner

No way I'm gonna let the evils of the gremlin dictate stuff on anything I host

UPDATE: Hetzner ignores their requests and we're in the clear: mstdn.social/@stux/11366257336

We have received an abuse report from 398- fz@rkn.gov.ru for your IP address 49.13.236.103.

If we do need to comply with Hetzner on this, I'm gonna look into an option to get mstdn.social in-home, like literally so they won't be able to touch anything

But that's a last resort since I do not have the hardware not money for that currently

At least there's options just in case

@stux @Bellingcat we could also set up a separate bellingcat instance if that would be more appropriate or convenient.

@koen It's just authoritarian bluff. Even if it came from the German or Dutch government, I wouldn't take it that seriously. But yes, you never know with Hetzner nowadays. 🤷🏻‍♀️ They just pull the plug out of nowhere.

Strange as it may seem I feel the need to defend Hetzner here: they are in the ‘make money at scale’ game. If they have to spend time on fighting with authority that is very expensive and it might harm them very much.

Let’s see what happens and give them the benefit of the doubt in the mean time.

@stux @koen @Bellingcat

Same. More than willing to help out, have them on Exquisite or setup an instance for them. Bellingcat is doing incredibly important work (and so are you by the way) :flan_heart: :flan_hacker:
