Russia has banned and blocked Discord: Russian users can get top priority by posting in this thread.

Discord is Marlin's primary user support mechanism. Because Russia has banned and blocked Discord within Russia, all of our Russian users are left with no support.

I don't expect we will get many problems reported by our Russian users. After all... They are a very smart and independent bunch of people. But with that said...

If you are Russian.... And you need help with a Marlin issue.... Please post your problem here. I will make sure it gets the attention it deserves.

I don't think we need a dedicated Issue for this since we have several other resources for users including places to ask for help:

• Marlin Documentation hosted on MarlinFW.org
• Marlin Forum hosted on RepRap.org
• Marlin Firmware Facebook Group
• Marlin Firmware for 3D Printers Facebook Group
• Marlin Configuration on YouTube

Similar to users in China, Russians are using VPNs to get around blocks and can still access Discord.

Ok... Especially with the links you just provided, it won't be too hard for the affected users to find support.

Thank You for the links!
