Thanks for clarifying, that's a pretty good summary. Russian developers experienced the same "HN is not for politics" kinds of reaction on Habr (russian HN, more or less) a decade ago, until politics came for them and Habr died. Before that, "being outside of politics" was a stance some people identified with because back then Putins regime didn't repress as much and the situation was "stable". Seeing a take like that still having its followers after our autocracy matured even more is disheartening and sad.

I suppose it’s more of a CYA nowadays than that. (Well, at least one can hope.)
