apparently gab has banned russian ips
@iajasom russia has been going after tech companies that aren't willing to store all of the data they obtain from russians exclusively in putinland. not surprised that they would just block the IP range instead of deal with that garbage.
it's actually costly and administratively annoying to rent data centers in every place with stupid laws like this just so you can geo locate people's tweets about their food or other mundane drivel
@icedquinn if this is the reason, they just could've ignored it, what by the way a number of russian companies do. In the worst case scenario your site will be blocked by Roskomnadzor.
@iajasom So much for free speech 😂
