I would like to remind everyone that "If they don't honor their core values, we will" does not implicitly mean "If they don't announce something at BlizzCon, we will reopen the servers in Russia." It's ambiguous and judging by their T-shirt announcement, it sounds like they were also expecting some kind of announcement at BlizzCon.
This is a delicate time and a knee jerk response could actually hurt our movement. I'm just as disappointed as anyone, but I don't think Nost should do anything (what they actually can do I don't even know) until after BlizzCon. How long after? I'm not sure, but doing something rash might be damaging.
I'm very upset by this news, but it's not the end of the line. Keep cool heads, and let's stay the course for at least the next 2 weeks.
