If the site is meant to be a mechanism to circumvent policy with no other use case, it will probably get banned.

Thats not “free speech”, and free speech us only a protected right up until it starts to impact other human rights.

People seem to forget that free speech is not the only protected right, and that in most countries its definitely not #1 on the priority list, usually several other rights come before it.

The site will be hosted at “freedom.gov,” the sources said

So… they will just ban that too then, what a waste of time and money lol

Thats it? Youd think after this many years of war, the proverbial thumbscrews would have been tightened way more than that on russia

What is this limp wristed version of trying to fight back? Way too many countries are still letting Russia get away with this shit.

I use Hugo, it’s not super complicated.

You basically just define templates in pseudo html for common content (header, nav panel, footer, etc), and then you write your articles in markdown and Hugo combines the two and outputs actual html files.

You also have a content folder for js, css, and images which get output as is.

That’s about all there is to it, it’s a pretty minimalist static site generator.

Hosting wise you can just put it on github pages for free.
