Нахуй Роскомнадзора.

Canonical picture for RKN-related news is this one.
Writings on the placard is:
"анус себе заблокируй роскомнадзор" which means "RKN [go] block your own anus [instead]". Phrase which everyone in RU says as a reaction to any actions of that service. Unfortunately not widely known abroad.
@stux I think they just wanted you to restrict access to it for Russian users, which would've avoided the entire instance getting blocked (because they can't block individual pages with HTTPS). You probably want to notify Russian users of this instance so they can migrate, because working around these blocks in Russia becomes increasingly difficult, where even VPN protocols like Outline are detected and blocked... (btw suggesting VPNs to work around bans is also illegal in Russia....)
@stux @Bellingcat would like to see this covered by @404mediaco @jasonkoebler
