‘tis a sad day to be an Arab queer on Lemmy.
If you’re looking for /r/196, you might want to try /r/195. It’s got the same mod, but it’s hosted on your instance [email protected]
Hm, can’t you still access all the content through another instance? Sad to hear this, but maybe that’s a strong argument for federation?
I can see posts from other instances but all content hosted on blahaj.zone like media won’t load. That includes images videos etc.
Let’s see if the Lemmy devs can build a media proxy. Federated systems are an amazing way to bypass censorship, as the government would have to play cat and mouse as well.
So sorry to hear that. There are probably technical ways around this, but it seems like they are illegal in the UAE.
Yeah there’s VPNs, but it’s a constant game of cat and mouse to find one that works. They use deep packet inspection to analyse internet traffic and scramble anything that resembles a VPN.
I even tried renting a server and running OpenVPN on it to have my own VPN server, but that started getting scrambled in the first week of use.
Sucks subscribing to a VPN then finding out it doesn’t work like a week later, which has happened to me more times than I can count.
Have you tried something like this https://github.com/dmitriykuptsov/soho-vpn-over-tls/
yet?Or maybe one of these: https://github.com/topics/deep-packet-inspection
Just some ideas. Sorry you have to deal with an extra shitty government.
I have not, but those are some neat resources you shared that warrant looking into 👀. Thank you!
Might not be useful, but v2ray might work if open vpn fails. Docs should have and English option in the corner.
well guess il just leave dubai and abu dhabi as stops
first they ban rainbows, now its IKEA sharks?
