Holy shit.
The Russian gov send in an abuse request for the @Bellingcat to be removed from mstdn.social
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: https://mstdn.social/@stux/113662573364116275
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 Hetzner has previously taken action re: Russian dealings. So

@tankgrrl @Bellingcat Seems positive! (for us)
