Dev groups on linkedin? A abandoned phpbb forum from 2010 is a better option!
You should see the dev groups on fb. People post screen shot of their code and ask for help. Sometimes you can spot an actual photography of a monitor with code on it.

This majority is totally fine to imprison unwanted minorities. This majority is totally fine to restrict my freedoms. This majority thinks they are right because they are majority . So in short, the majority asks me to sacrifice myself for their sake because I'm in minority and they are in majority. If so, f##k them! P.S. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_Shrugged
That's how democracy works. Are you against democracy?
This is why the US government was set up with various undemocratic features. This is why there are things like constitutions that require supermajorities to modify.
Protecting minorities from the tyranny of the majority is one of the main purposes of good governmenance.
Worth noticing that court blocked only HTTP version " http://www.linkedin.com/" , HTTPS works just fine :) However some providers, who had no smart hardware, may block by IP instead of URL, and https version will be blocked as well (not my case).
From Russia, can confirm. Finally roscomnadzor is preventing spam!

so you say if Europe does something, it's good. If Russia does the same thing, it's bad, because it's Russia. OK.
Putin likes to make it look that way, yes. And on the surface it does. Beneath the surface, there are lots of important differences. The EU doesn't block websites. It doesn't control the media. It ensures freedom of speech. It makes it possible even for US companies to do business in the EU, without the fear that their servers are seized whenever some corrupt regime decides to. The EU doesn't go after dissidents... a…

That risk isn't bigger than anywhere else since we are talking about private company really concerned about security. How many leaks were there through government channels from Mail.ru Group or Yandex? None, and the reason is that, given all necessary security measures taken, you cannot just copy such a database to CD. The access will be limited to few well-paid people in IT Ops, the database can be secured using a s…
AFAIK, you can buy mail.ru databases[1]. Quote: «A vendor going by the online handle of “saul_berenson” is selling 57 million Mail.ru accounts on darknet in BTC 1.0000 (628.78 US Dollar). The sold data includes emails and MD5 passwords of Mail.ru users. According to the seller, “these passwords are very easy to crack.” Remember Mail.ru was hacked twice, one in July and August 2016 when 27 million accounts were stolen…
Seriously? I can give you free access to credentials from 164,611,595 LinkedIn accounts right now. This data has been copied and sold many times over with zero help from any government.

Yes. Any thinking person should be against democracy in the sense of "any time we can get one vote over 50% for something we should pass the something". This is why the US government was set up with various undemocratic features. This is why there are things like constitutions that require supermajorities to modify. Protecting minorities from the tyranny of the majority is one of the main purposes of good governmenan…

The hardest part is that once your Twitter clone functions well enough to replace Twitter it will be banned just the same.
Unless I can do it sans central server, web torrent maybe? Any ideas?

At the end of the day, creating many of these services is trivial. Creating a LinkedIn clone is trivial, and one will pop up in Russia giving some Russian owners profit and creating jobs for Russians. So how it's bad for the Russian economy, or the economy of any country to do this, is beyond me. On the other hand, dictatorships and capitalist democracies love to gather as much information as they can on their citize…
> Creating a LinkedIn clone is trivial Sure, but reaching a critical mass isn't. And for Russian freelancers looking for work outside of Russia a Russian LinkedIn isn't helpful. Maybe the problems with this regulation will be more obvious if a service like Github is blocked.

There's a difference between democracy and ochlocracy ("mob rule").
It's democracy (with a small d) when I agree with it, ochlocracy when I don't?
In a free society, the rule of the people is only one of the pillars of freedom. Other pillars include the rule of law, certain inalienable rights, etc. Without these, the rule of the people descend into majoritianism or ochlocracy.
The textbook example of ochlocracy is the French Revolution between the Insurrection of 10 August 1792 and the Thermidorian Reaction.
