Does this sub post anything other than Elon Musk bullshit?!

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

I recommend avoiding social media.

It’s clearly biased against fingered folks!

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.

I’m not sure there is even a video on that shitty site.

Damn, I can only can block users, not instances. Thanks though!

Shame on you.

What/where is the meatball menu please?

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.

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.
