Hello. For some reason I don't have access to slrpnk.net and feddit.org. I tried to connect from another IP and it worked. My IPv4 is 89.169.34.191. Is it banned on these instances?

Hi, feddit.org admin here. We are currently blocking multiple regions due to very aggressive scraping done by companies, such as Alibaba. I will forward this post to our team, to find out the exact reason to why you're blocked.

Blocking whole regions sounds like overkill. Just block the alibaba subnets. We do the same on our end. If you want I can provide you the cidr ranges.

It's definitely overkill. Every time I come across a feddit.org image, it's just broken on my end :/

Really?? I thought I was the only one with this problem. It's been on going for months.

I'm glad to hear I'm not an obscure exception, I hope they fix this.

Request: Please don't ban Mullvad VPN IPs.

Thank you. I use my personal VPN for personal use from this IP, but I'm not sure about the whole subnet. It would be great if you whitelist my IP (at least for a year).
