this is from one of the comments in the post, responding to his whining about russians who don’t support ukraine pushing him out of the community:
This is just not what happened.
You were called to answer for active calls to violence against Russian people, quoting you, “РЕЖЬ РУСНЮ” (trans. “SLAUGHTER RUSSIANS”). You disagreed that this is something bad, and here we are now.
We do not tolerate active calls to violence in the community regardless of what is the cause, and we deem that unacceptable in the community. Especially coming from a moderator.
At the same time, however controversial this is, we do indeed try to keep the discussions in the technical part of community civilized and focused on Rust-related issues. We are not perfect and cannot monitor all the activity, and if someone was bullied while moderator was offline, that is our fault. However, those messages were promptly deleted, and we actively discourage such behavior.
Is that wrong? Maybe. But this is what we have to do to keep community from splitting because of the Putin’s war. There are other channels to debate and discuss the sad events that are unwinding since February: the several off topic chats that were created with an express goal to keep a 3k people chat from descending into uncontrolled internet battlefield.
The fact that the person writing this had to do a meek mea culpa to seem balanced, while a moderator no less actively called for slaughter on an ethnic basis is disheartening.

It’s sad that you see the situation in this light
