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 parody🤦‍♂️ 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. 🙄

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 😔

    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.

      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.

        Or the government uses web indexes to find sites that include LGBTQ+ content and blocks them automatically.

          Saudi admins aren’t stupud, but they won’t like to work that hard I believe. Reports is how it’s usualy triggered in nations like these.
