Ya, I’m gonna have to see if we need to blacklist this for our org now. That’s not gonna be popular.

Yes, please keep all the Elon shit nearly packed into one sub that I can block.

People being antisocial toward their own spouse getting up voted is a troubling sign.

Are you making a distinction between those who vote Democrat and the politicians in the party? I would say there is quite a difference there.

The browser’s original purpose was to market their shitcoin wasn’t it?

Shame on you.

I don’t think “free speech” and “don’t be an asshole” are incompatible. I do mostly agree with your take, there different flavors of asshole that are more tolerated than others though.

Ya, the tech interests me. It feels like a version of the earlier internet where private forums and webrings were the norm. I like the native support for blocking things I don’t care to see as well.

You don’t have to be a right wing extremist to be libertarian (small L).

Ya, most young people I know that are not in tech are terrible with tech. They have only experienced EZmode and need shit put on a silver platter.

Wow, this response reeks even more of bot.

No fucking way will I ever support AI having rights. It’s game over then, just hand all the power to corpos.

As someone in the InfoSec field, I also hate those people.

That is possible as well. Those firewalls are capable of packet inspection. If you are using personal devices it won’t be able to see much if you are using encryption in transit but if you are using University provided machines there is a good chance they can inspect all the data you are sending and receiving.

This is considered world news?!?

Are you hosting a service that is not under your organizations official domain or something? It is common security practice to block newly created domains which may be why your domain is blacklisted if you only recently stood it up.

Sounds like your university is using a Palo Alto Next Gen Firewall which is intercepting DNS requests and responding with the sinkhole FQDN for anything they deem malicious or suspicious. You can try to override this with DNS over HTTPS but they may also be blocking that. Standard security stuff. You can also probably try to open an IT ticket and request that they whitelist the domain.

What is the stance on federation? I’d love to find a place that doesn’t federate with all the porn and politics instances.

It’s usually the invasive data collection that gets people.

CINS Army always gives me a lot of false positives or took a long time to clear good hosts. I stopped using their list at work as a result.
