There's different people in Russia too. No one is blocking US citizens because they dropped bombs killing 300 people shopping in markets or 200k civilians in Iraq or for the many abuses like Abu Grahib.

Actually america has been by far the biggest aggressor on the planrt in tge last decades, and it killed the most civilians outside Africa.

That's my problem with this massive anti russian hysteria in software.

You only appear careless, racist and naive. It's better to avoid politics in software and business, because if you don't you have to basically ban anyone.

You have the audacity to call it anti Russian hysteria, when I should hide from air raid attacks sometimes several times a day?

Please don't use pnpm. Use Yarn or npm, those are better package managers for you.

I am sorry for that situation but my opinion does not change.

OS and politics should not be mixed. Your actions do nothing but say that you will "weaponize" an open source library to match one goal "punishing Russians" but not punishing other perpetrators.

If every software maintainer started to apply its own political views and ban some users the entire ecosystem would implode.

Should muslim developers ban all chinese users for the uighur concentration camps, and myanmaris for their treatment of Rohingya?

Should I, a Polish developer, ban Ukrainians because they hail as a hero and title streets to a criminal like Bandera that killed my own polish family in eastern galicia during world war two?

Where and when would this hysteria end?

I have sympathy for your situation, but not for such solutions. They damage everyone, including OSS.
