alt Hacker NewsI'm against war but it just says nothing more than stupid virtue-signaling when you do stuff like this.
What's ironic is that the ones doing this crap are usually the first to cry about internet censorship.

If the people providing the information want to block you from reading it, that does rather feel like their prerogative.
This has nothing to do with "virtue-signaling". Russia's actions have been extremely evil, so it's only natural it generates dislike, even hate. That's how we humans are.
Same happened to the Germans during and after World War II.

I believe most people against internet censorship are against _government_ censorship. I fall into that camp. I don't support government censorship of the internet, but I have no problem if individual website operators decide they don't want to serve a certain country.
Imagine thinking it’s bad to signal virtue.
It’s not censorship when the author is the one limiting who can see it. And what’s your basis for saying these people are the first to cry about internet censorship? Have you actually seen the same people doing this or are you just imagining it to be true?

The commenter don't know this with certainty. It is a rather uncharitable assumption. It is hard to know what is inside the head of another person.
