Holy shit.

The Russian gov send in an abuse request for the @Bellingcat to be removed from mstdn.social  

I am not gonna comply, and have replied to Hetzner

No way I'm gonna let the evils of the gremlin dictate stuff on anything I host

UPDATE: Hetzner ignores their requests and we're in the clear: https://mstdn.social/@stux/113662573364116275
