    I'm in the UK and was fine for me. Have you left your porn vpn on?

    We dont actually block VPNs, but we do block ASNs where we get abuse traffic. Just so happens that Proton VPNs servers in France are on that ASN.

    I get that, this is more an issue I guess with instances that were federated and now are not in the UK. It isn't handled that gracefully - but hey not my issue

    My response wasn't regarding the geoblock, but to the above poster saying we block VPNs (which isn't true)

    But just so you're aware, we dont geoblock federation traffic and all our posts, comments etc are federated without issue.

    The only thing geoblocked is the UIs, so UK visitors can't access the UI.

    If your client tries to direct you to lemmy.zip rather than the crossposted article, then that client isn't working properly and you should log a bug. Like any crosspost, the content federates fine.

    Hope that clears it up for you.

    I understand that, it is fine. My point was that having to mess around to see something is why users get fed up. Nothing that can be done about it really, it is a mess brought upon by a poorly worded and applied act that really doesn't do the simple things it set out to do...

    Don't know why I expected something interesting from the Brits but I looked at lemmy.zip posts and was a bit disappointed. Is there a list of the websites blocked in the UK maybe with rates and comments what you definitely should not visit and such?

    Thanks. Still no porn though, mostly tech related websites. Why are they banned by osa?

    Because... the OSA is badly worded, pretty damn oppressive and the penalties are so high that if they enforced them then well, pretty much ANY decent website will cease to be available in the UK. Simple really, plus it doesn't do anything like it should do as users just magically appear to be in a different country...

    What you describe sounds either like incompetence, or like perfect censorship tool as intended. Wonder what it is.

    users just magically appear to be in a different country...

    So ban to vpn is next?

    You sure that the issue is geographical? I'm in the UK and was able to access the site without using a VPN or anything like that.

    Oh I see what you're talking about. I thought you meant the link to fffmpegs forgejo site rather than the crosspost link.

    Maybe it's just the app I'm using, but sync was able to redirect me to the Open source community that this was originally posted to. (It's hosted on lemmy.ml, but the poster is from Lemmy.zip, which is why the post link is Lemmy.zip).

    When I open via browser though, I see the OSA block that you're referring too... An interesting difference for sure. But I suppose if all posts from lemmy.zip were blocked, we wouldn't be seeing this one either, so I'm guessing it's just post shares that won't work?

    Well it seems that the title is fetched and when you click to visit then it is geoblocked...
    I mean I get the idea, and it is fine (if I wanted to I'd magically move to another country) but it was more a point that federation for geoblocked stuff is kinda borked (not in a bad way)
