Reddit Blocked In China (qz.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Quartz: Many Reddit users in China who tried to access the social network this weekend were slightly annoyed to find the company's site and app weren't working. But in China, it's second nature for internet users to turn on their VPNs, and in almost no time at all, they were surfing the "front page of the internet" again. According to users' posts, the crackdown appeared to have started on Friday (Aug. 10). By today (Aug. 13), more people said they were able to access Reddit again. Many, however, report that Reddit remains behind the Great Firewall for them. Comparitech, a tool that checks if a domain is blocked in China, continues to show that reddit.com is not accessible via regular internet access, but reachable over VPN. It's unclear if geography is a factor for why some people are and aren't able to access the site.
the Streisand effect will probably kick in, and it will become more popular in China.
Reddit as a whole has a lot of resources, and smart (often helpful) people, covering pretty much every subject you can think of (that hasn't been banned)
Reddit management and moderators of a lot of the main subreddits seem to have been engaging in censorship of ideologies and information they don't approve of. Much like China.
Your hilarious, posting that on *Slashdot*
Reddit has many worthy "subreddits" for various news, discussions, hobbies.
Sure, some of them are garbage. It's like a mall with many restaurants, many of them fine but yes there are dumpsters out back for those that want to feed there.
Hmmm, maybe your the type who is drawn to the dumpster and only sees the dumpsters? Bon appetit!
You know how I block site that I do not like? By complaining. Oh wait, no. By not going there.
Yet I understand that there are people behind you with a gun to your head that force you to go there.
Unfortunately I will not be able to call the police and talk about a hostage situation. That went horrible the last time people did that.
Don't fight for your country, if your country does not fight for you.
Why hasn't it been blocked by Russia yet? I'm putting up pictures of Putin getting his ass reamed everyday and all I get are Russians saying he can take a much bigger cock. So frustrating, me getting no respect for my artwork and Putin not getting a big enough horse cock in the ass to orgasm.
