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?

I don’t think anything like that exists, way too easy to bypass them right now

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.
