You're right. This is disgusting cowardliness. Even if I'm not making this decision to protect myself, I am a disgusting coward.
I don't follow the war. I don't have anything against any normal person in any of these regions. I'm Persian and these geofences block most of my family from using SN.
I hope this is remedied by going non-custodial, or SN relocating outside of the US, but I don't fucking know to be honest.
