A company is not a person. Choosing not to support a company because it ultimately benefits its home country, which is actively waging war, should be considered a negative. Whether it is enough not to use their services is up to each individual. As you said, it is a FOSS application, so if you aren’t using one of their paid plans, how much is it truly benefiting them?

Also, I don’t think this is a “insert current enemy of the West” scenario. Ukraine isn’t traditionally considered part of the West, and it has support from most countries and people worldwide (not just the West).

This thread highlights how they tried hiding their origins after the war broke out. https://forum.cryptpad.org/d/232-onlyoffice-concerns-vendor-makes-shady-moves

Thanks for this. I spend so much time on the content from guide to guide that I forget how someone reading it for the first time might interpret it.

Will update the guide and post it to !PurchaseWithPurpose@lemmy.world

If someone wants to transcribe these guides, then I am more than happy to include them!

This is the first version of this guide, so please share any feedback, and I’ll include it in the next version!
