I removed my account and my postings from habr at the start of the war by writing to its support.

Many habr users did the same, because the company behind habr chose not to speak up and decided to censor the site to avoid any mention of war.

At the same time, habr seems to suffer from increased activity of kremlinbots.

So what you see there are remnants of a once sprawling community.

Habr is irrelevant now.

While I won't argue that many Russians are indeed nationalistic and pro-Putin, that thread shows the opposite. All anti-war comments are upvoted, anti-west downvoted. Some comments are sarcasm/irony, maybe it was lost in translation.

There's like right now 50/50. So from topic to topic pro-war comments can be more upvoted. Personally I left this comment https://habr.com/ru/news/t/655229/comments/#comment_24156299
