There are a few countries out there that people love to hate. Sometimes they choose to block all visitors from those countries to their websites. What is your opinion on the practice? Note that I am not talking about blocking for legal or copyright reasons, or about blocking done by the countries’ authorities or ISPs, only by the websites themselves.
Does your opinion change depending on whether the website in question is a personal website or blog, versus a website for a free/libre/open-source software project, versus a public service (e.g. a Fediverse instance)? Would you stop using your Lemmy instance if you learn that it is blocking visitors from certain countries?


Nothing should be Geoblocked. You block bad actors, not entire portions of Earth. Geoblocking is only used by psycho dictators and corporations trying to squeeze a profit out of everyone while screwing the artists.
