Everyone has their standards of propriety. Some things are inappropriate on Twitter, while in some places Twitter itself is inappropriate. I think it's a good lesson.

Russian standards of propriety are very similar to American. Russian government's ones are not, but that's a different story.

Yeah.. I invite you to post some pictures of an openly gay relationship on social media and show it to the average Russian and that'll cure you of that illusion.

we should more use self-hosted / github hosted personal blogs instead of twitter

This is true libertarian way to blog

And Russia would just ban GitHub, no?

tandav2• 5 years ago

well, then - simple vps servers + eg Flask/ http.server

Github hosted anything suffers from the same problem, obviously. Russian govt. would just pressure github to remove any content they don't want.

The libertarian way to is to use what-ever you feel like.

Dumb question but is this the "Take 2" version of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26409132 or is it the same thing / a dupe? 100% not sure since the link says last modified 16 March
