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?

    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?

      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 not exactly the entire regions, but a large chunk of prefixes from asian regions.

        we’re currently working on some infrastructure changes that will allow more granular blocking for feddit.org, separating it from the blocking used for other fediverse foundation services, as currently all fediverse foundation services are sharing the same blocklist.

        It’s definitely overkill. Every time I come across a feddit.org image, it’s just broken on my end :/

    Some address ranges (prominently asian ones) are statically blocked on feddit.org, afaik due to ML scrapers etc. Though, I wonder why that specific one is blocked, as it’s a UK IP. @surprised_pikachu@feddit.org @BurningTurtle@feddit.org @letsu@feddit.org

    When I open slrpnk, a page flashes before. I think it’s something like cloudflare but something else. I have no idea how to find out what it is, it redirects very fast. Maybe your IP got marked by that service?

    EDIT: found it. Maybe try reaching out to slrpnk admins?

    Well, static routes did the job. Now both site are accessible. I hope admins of these instances won’t tell KGB my IP.

    Did it show you a specific error/ban message?
