This is a really, really fucked up thing to do. Many Russians are currently scrambling to move their families and businesses abroad, away from Putin's regime (myself included). This will put additional pressure on people who are in a very difficult situation already and actively oppose the war.

I sincerely hope Namecheap reconsiders.

They have offices in Ukraine. I got this e-mail as well. This is collateral damage. You can get an another domain. Many people won't get their life back. Fuck Putin, fuck the war.

  • The only people who will suffer from this are the people who are currently in a difficult situation due to them fleeing from Russia. Big companies and people staying in Russia will easily absorb this, of course.

    • I don't see the hundred of thosands of people fleeing Russia at the moment. I do see them trying to get out of Ukraine though. Please stop trying to make yourself a victim. You're really not. You're just a troll.

    • >Big companies and people staying in Russia will easily absorb this

      While it seems hard to fathom how big this anti-Putin tsunami really is but can you name any big companies based in North Korea? Like North Korea, Russia has just become reliant upon China for pretty much everything.

  • Collateral to what? They aren't dealing any actual damage to the regime, just some random people who had the misfortune of being born in the wrong place at the wrong time.

  • This is NOT collateral damage, these people are the actual target. Who do you think will suffer from this decision? Developers and it nerds mostly.
