A couple of days ago i noticed something off with blahaj.zone. I couldn't see images posted by users on blahaj, so i thought it was a problem on their side.

Well guess fucking what? After 3 days, it was STILL broken, so i opened it and...

Blocked. They fucking blocked blahaj.zone. Actually beyond parodyπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ Why? What was the point? there's trans content literally everywhere on lemmy. what's next, block them all? So now if i want to see a post by a user on blahaj, i have to turn on my VPN (protonvpn.com is also blocked in saudi, jfc) just to see it. Fuck this place. πŸ™„

I swear a couple of days ago it worked. This is a mild annoyance (hence the community) but still.

It's so over guys, MBS said no more 196 πŸ˜”

Just click there and tell them it shouldn't be blocked.

I am sure they'll listen!

Do I misunderstand how federation works, or should a block like that not do anything unless your home instance is hosted in that particular country? The instances communicate with each other, not directly with the users. It's similar to viewing blocked content through a VPN.

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

You understand it correctly. The problem is i can't see anything other than the text of their posts/comments. Posts with images, i wouldn't be able to see the image.

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Instances have a choice to enable a new Lemmy feature that will proxy all images through the local instance. Whilst your instance may not do that today it may do in the future. Or you could move to an instance that has this enabled. I don't know how to list instances with it enabled but it should be obvious by the URL used by images when viewed from an instance.

I didn't know Saudi can block fediverse instances

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

A lot of websites are blocked here.

Porn (60,000 BLOCKED PORN SITES!), alcohol/drug stores, Gay sites (from blogs to forums, anything), anti islam websites like wikiislam, and just non-muslim religious shit in general. we have a lot of banned christian sites. And news sites like middleeasteye.net

VPNs + tor is also banned too.

For some reason, israel.com + idf.il are also blocked. weird considering saudi-israel's relationship.

Proton works in China if you set the protocol to "stealth" in the setting, maybe that works for Saudi as well?

Why would someone use an Afghanistan TLD for that, given it's illegal to be LGBTQ there? If course the domain is going to be removed.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why? Because "queer af" is funny as a domain, and people sometimes don't realize that tlds can be under certain jurisdictions

It also wasn't a problem until governments changed

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

also the majority of people don't know TLDs are country based
