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˜”

My fuckers blocked catbox.moe, most western news sites and slowed down youtube traffic, but lemmy still flies under radar thankfully. I wish you still have your ways to choose what content you want to consume.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

Tor with Snow flakes is probably what you want.

You could even use Tails to avoid leaving a trace.

That sounds worse, what country are you living in? Sorry to hear it. And thanks for the wishes :)

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

The Motherland, of course. I was born into her teenage phase of 90\00s and now I see her rapidly becoming one young and salty widow (:

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 6 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Oh dear, hearing anything about russia almost makes me proud to a saudi :).

Through our suffering, we are brothers πŸ˜‚

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Hell yeah. We a cockroaches in their kitchen, never surrender and always persist whatever they like us or not πŸ˜‰

How's life for you besides internet censorship, if you don't mind me asking. I'm just curious. Good luck out there!

Saudi would take a hacksaw to them if they could

MBS's wet dream every night.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 16 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (10 children)

They fucking geoblocked blahaj.zone.

I suppose THEY is Saudi Arabia.
How can you be surprised about that? Saudi Arabia is a Sharia law country. An absolute shit stain of a country in many more ways than this.
You can get a death penalty for posting something against Sharia Law on any site. Actively using Lemmy could be enough to see you in jail.

MBS said no more 196

???

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 16 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

The last line was a joke. Anyways yes it is about Saudi Arabia, and I'm no stranger to how shitty they are. I'm surprised that such a niche forum could be targeted, websites about trans stuff get banned all the time.

I knew this'd happen eventually, I just didn't know when.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 14 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I’m surprised that such a niche forum could be targeted,

If you can find it, authorities can too. Sounds like you are far from careful enough, considering where you are.

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

I bet there's some user from there, not a stranger to reddit and it's alternatives, that happened to stumble upon it and report it.

So now if i want to see a post by a user on blahaj, i have to turn on my VPN just to see it. Fuck this place. πŸ™„

One of the first conversations I was on when I joined was one between Ada, the lemmy.blahaj.zone admin, and some guy in a Middle Eastern country. Apparently his country had blocked lemmy.blahaj.zone at the national network level.

The Threadiverse is federated, so one could view posts from lemmy.blahaj.zone elsewhere, but not images, which did not propagate.

I thought that at some point, lemmy servers had started also storing images posted on other lemmy servers, but upon checking, it looks like they have not. I did run into one -- no longer up -- that had, according to the description, had apparently been modified to do this, probably to afford its users more privacy and not expose their IP addresses other than to their home instance. In theory, if you could find one that did so, you could make that your home instance and just rely on propagation of images through the network.

EDIT: It sounds from this year-old post like a lemmy instance can at least be configured to cache remote images:

https://futurology.today/post/6440

I suppose it'd be possible to go look and find out exactly what the current situation is.

Some shitheads started to spam CSAM and it got cached on other instances too. db0 admin created a tool to check every upload via library of hashes of known dangerous images (not images themselves). Since then, most images are stored locally on instances and aren't cached by others.
