Mullvad blocks a certain website (lemmy.ml)

I just realized that RT (dot com) is inaccessible when Mullvad is enabled, even with all content blockers turned off. It says the DNS lookup failed. I tried from various countries too.

This post is not about endorsing or condemning any particular site, I just want to know if anyone knows whether there could be a technical reason for this? Or are we just banning sites we don't like now?

Edit: Solved. RT is blocking some Mullvad nodes, not the other way around. Works with a random Albania server and I assume some others.

Also, if you use Mullvad's DNS servers, some level-1 DNS providers block Mullvad's level-2 servers, which means you can't even look up some sites. My solution was to use a web DNS lookup tool and add blocked resolves to my router's dnsmasq table. It's a shitty solution, but it works.
