Hello. For some reason I don’t have access to slrpnk.net and feddit.org. I tried to connect from another IP and it worked. My IPv4 is 89.169.34.191. Is it banned on these instances?
There seems to be a complete down of feddit.org right now, I get 504 errors trying to connect.
According to Pikachu in the matrix channel, a DOS attack
Hi, feddit.org admin here. We are currently blocking multiple regions due to very aggressive scraping done by companies, such as Alibaba. I will forward this post to our team, to find out the exact reason to why you’re blocked.
You’ve banned me from Europe and ich_iel for ‘toxic behaviour, transphobia’. I’ll give you toxic behaviour but from where tf you got transphobia in my profile? Care to point out?
Request: Please don’t ban Mullvad VPN IPs.
Blocking whole regions sounds like overkill. Just block the alibaba subnets. We do the same on our end. If you want I can provide you the cidr ranges.
It’s definitely overkill. Every time I come across a feddit.org image, it’s just broken on my end :/
Really?? I thought I was the only one with this problem. It’s been on going for months.
I’m glad to hear I’m not an obscure exception, I hope they fix this.
