It's no suprise that they would ban the whole of Reddit rather then let people grow and eat psychedelic mushrooms.
It's just a testament to how dangerous they think this is for their current regime.
Drugs, especially psychedelics, are antidotes for brainwashing and they know it and won't allow it.
I strongly believe that if more people took psychedelics in Russia, the regime would melt away and young people would start inventing crazy cool stuff and organizing Burning Man's instead of listening to state propaganda and preparing for WW3.
Theories aside, I'm really sorry for the people in Russia who are affected by the decisions of these zombie officials and each time I see something like this, I feel a greater need for a decentralized web which would be impossible (or extremely difficult) to block.
(If you're working on something like a decentralized/p2p web/Internet/content distribution platform), let me know, I'd love to join you.
