> I think it is a good idea to disconnect all russian chessplayer from Lichess. Then they will maybe be frustrated and join the resistance among average russians. Putin has started something that can easily escalate to a nuclear war... (check for urself, go to Youtube and search for "amost nuclear war") Norway has borders to Russia, but we have not been invaded (yet...) Have a nice evening everyone :)
It would be a terrible idea to block russians from playing chess here, and makes no logical sense, as it achieves nothing positive. Russian citizens are out on the streets in Russia protesting against the illegal invasion of Ukraine, and getting arrested as we speak. Why would you punish them for the crimes of Putin and his elite?
I'm all for the harshest sanctions possible, but targeting innocent individuals on this site is nonsensical.
