Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible

if i post on reddit, anything at all, my account will be suspended immediately. i think there is a black list on my ISP or maybe my entire country. i can appeal the suspension every day but nobody will read it. i literally can’t use reddit.

What country is that? I’m curious if they’re also racists.

This is a dumb argument. If they banned Finland it’s OK but if they banned Congo they’re racists?

Obviously. Stupid sexy Finns.

Drag thinks there are probably people who are racist against Finns. Americans were taught to think white people are one race, but that’s not what people in Europe believe. Drag looked it up on Wikipedia’s List Of Ethnic Slurs and found two slurs against Finns. One invented by Americans and one invented by Russians.
Banning all Finns or all Congolese would both be racist.

Finns is not a race, it could be an ethnicity, but not even that, since you have multiple ones in the country.

It’s both wrong? But racism is not the word to use here

it’s obviously not racism. don’t be a clown.
it’s laziness and incompetence. it’s a huge problem for many smaller countries outside the western world. you are blocked constantly. they want to filter malicious traffic, and they don’t have many users from your country, so they blocked the entire ASN.
