The Ukrainian military has been using Discord, so it's not totally unimaginable. Are these domains administered by Russians? IMO it would be pretty naive for Russians to be hosting comm servers in NATO datacenters right now. Perhaps related: I interviewed for a job recently where the hiring manager was a Russian immigrant. He was telling me I should go visit St. Petersburg and didn't seem to understand that is not an option at the moment. I was flattered by the suggestion of course and it is a nice reminder that regular people are typically tolerant, but also confused. Do people not understand the severity of the situation or is this behavior of acting like it is business as usual a coping mechanism?
