Why does Chess.com SUPPORT the war in Ukraine? Should CHess.com be BOYCOTTED?

WHY,WHY,WHY CHESS,COM DOESN'T BAN THE RUSSIAN FLAG? ALL INTERNATIONAL FEDERATIONS INCLUDING FIDE HAVE BANNED IT ! THIS IS INSULTING PLAYERS FROM ALL 141 COUNTRIES THAT HAVE VOTED IN UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY A DECLARATION THAT RUSSIA MUST IMMEDIATELLY STOP THE WAR UKRAINE . MILLIONS ARE REFUGEES AND TENS OF THOUSAND ARE KILLED ! PLEASE TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION !
If you donate money to one of the many charities that are providing help to Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees, you will be doing something meaningful. Typing out long, ALL CAPS rants about how angry you are is a complete waste of time

bro just chill. If you have this much of a problem do something meaningful. Starting arguments on a chess site isn't exactly going to help anything. At all.
Yeah, I have donated! How about yourself, with the small letters?
Of course I have. I just don't feel the need to scream about how angry and outraged I am. Seems like a waste of time--at best

Also, you can decide for yourself whether you want to boycott it, though I doubt you'll get much support, if at all, If you do.

A list of ways to donate.

I used the Red Cross one and the Ukraine Crisis Fund one. It's easy.

To start with, you are under no obligation to play any "mass murderers" you may be paired with. Just abort the game if it bothers you so much.
Realize that many thousands of Russians are protesting against the war. There is no reason to think that any random Russian you may play has any personal responsibility for the war.
Just because someone has chosen to use the Russian flag on this site doesn't mean they are actually Russian.
Chess.com is not in charge of policing the morality of all the nations that are currently committing atrocities against other nations--and it is a long list--by punishing individuals from those nations.
Remember that the Netherlands, as a member of NATO, participated in the "peacekeeping" in Afghanistan for years, killing thousands of innocent civilians. By your standards this makes YOU a mass murderer.

I just had to play a game against a LITERAL MONSTER from Russia. Why are we civilized Western people expected to play chess against NAZI SAVAGES from Russia who are LITERALLY KILLING CHILDREN!!!!
Chess.com got no balls, they would rather block someone before accepting the truth about warmongers. Toppermangolf
I am absolutely SHAKING right now by the injustice of Chess.com. I think that as long as they allow themselves to be a platform for GENOCIDAL RATS to exist and express their hate against the free world we should all BOYCOT Chess.com until they finally take a stand against Russia and deplatform all Russian and Belarusian players.
Not really, but all that righteous self-dramatizing gets tiresome
