Can somebody reupload the image at a non-feddit.org host? Feddit is incredibly annoying in that it geoblocks most of Asia.

I complete disagree with the comic.
I may satirize it l8r.

Yo! It's later already. I demand satire.

seems folks forgot fascists are nothing without their resources.

These people are living caricatures of the reddit shitlib, I see no reason for them to geoblock asia other than them actually believing there are russian bots infiltrating lemmy

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No need to go into conspiracy theories. I already explained why they're doing it, and I understand it even if I disagree strongly with their decision.

[–] mathemachristian@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Ok, can you link the explanation?

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Oh right, it's a different post, my bad.

Thanks!

Wait what? Why?

Well apparently asia is the source of a lot of scraping traffic, and they're an European focused website, so they went with the nuclear option of blocking the entire continent and change. Never mind that as one of the bigger instances on the Threadiverse, they're degrading the user experience for an entire continent. I brought the issue up to them previously, but they didn't seem too concerned about it.

Example of degraded user experience for Asia:

Ah thanks, that's pretty moronic but not (or at least not blatantly) racist

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's a little racist. I sense strong "who cares about whether those non-europeans can see our content?" vibes.

Fair, especially when federating content.
