Ahh I see, interesting. Let me know how that develops id be curious to hear.

@p

@freemo @p Will do! Their internet censorship is off the hook this year

They’re always ahead of the curve on alt platforms tho. They banned #Gab a year or two ago, look at where it is now

@realcaseyrollins @freemo @p so what websites does the college censor? That’s kinda messed up.

@mimiheartskoo @freemo @p IIRC the only ones I’m aware of are FSE, #Gab, and antifa.com, but there are probably more

Both Heavy and the Urban Dictionary got unblocked last semester

@realcaseyrollins @freemo @p you can still view urban dictionary on your phone through data, right? It’s ARMY descriptions are pretty funny 😂

@mimiheartskoo @freemo @p Oh yes everything works fine through data

Also #Tor is a thing…😎

@realcaseyrollins @freemo @p ohhhh unblocked. Cool. But my question abt censored sites remains

@mimiheartskoo @freemo @p Yeah they don’t have a concrete list. Porn sites are presumably banned, although that’s not something I’ve bothered to test 😂

@realcaseyrollins @mimiheartskoo Do you know if they're using a list or how they decide what gets blocked?

@p @mimiheartskoo I think they have a list but it’s not public

@realcaseyrollins @mimiheartskoo I'm curious who decides and how, mainly.

@p @mimiheartskoo Same

And your assets just stopped loading again lol

@realcaseyrollins @mimiheartskoo Googlebot and bingbot are still combing the old address.

@p @mimiheartskoo What old address?

@realcaseyrollins @mimiheartskoo FSE's old IP address.

@p @realcaseyrollins @mimiheartskoo It’s bullshit. No CP ir even lolis seen for a looooong time.

@Simpadoo @p @mimiheartskoo it doesn’t have to be

@Simpadoo @mimiheartskoo @p like if it’s porn at all it’s blocked

@Simpadoo @mimiheartskoo @realcaseyrollins It's a college so there's no telling what they block or why or whether they're even accountable.

@realcaseyrollins

Good excuse to set up a vps for a personal vpn out of their lockdown, tbh.

@dubh True

Running a #VPN is against the rule, BUT…I actually have #VNC on my RPi #PLEX server back home so I could use my home internet remotely

Or, I could always use #Tor!

@realcaseyrollins

"...against the rules."

It's a wonder that, to be effective, a "school" must isolate you, locking down your information and communication.

You know, like an abusive cult.

@dubh It’s not the worst thing in the world. They don’t block anything I care to use (except #Gab but that sucks and I left it).

But I mean I have #Tor for a reason…

@dubh (For context, I go to a #Christian college, and most of what they ban is just porn)

@realcaseyrollins

That does make things a bit less distasteful to me, although I think it's still patronizing, I understand that much more than topical political restrictions, which is what I presumed. I also noticed you mention tor in the original thread, I'm glad you're so resourceful, it's a good look on you.

@dubh Yeah I’m sort of a tech nerd 😅 Thanks for the compliment tho!

Yes, antifa.com was (probably still is) blocked but I think it was because they’re violent

@realcaseyrollins @dubh You don't even need VNC there. You can just run a proxy on your home Pi, then connect to it through an SSH tunnel. (If you have the misfortune to use Windows for school-related stuff, Putty supports tunnels, too.)
