Lucky Ukraine

Wild it took them this long to block an obvious tool being used against their civilians, but then again we still have Twitter and TikTok dumbing down Americans...

ukrainian isps blocking truth social, or truth social blocking access from ukrainian ips? looks like the latter

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago

i bet that both of ukrainian users are real mad about it rn

[–] [email protected] 174 points 1 day ago (3 children)

This actually looks like Truth Social is blocking Ukraine as opposed to Ukraine blocking Truth Social

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Correct. Also for those interested:

[–] [email protected] 7 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

So they are also blocking Russia?

Or they are blocking a Russian vpn endpoint?

Blocking Russia (source: i live in ru)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not in Russia and they're not blocking the Saudi Arabian VPN endpoint.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Sorry. I don’t understand what the screenshot is trying to show.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

That the same message is displayed when setting the VPN to Russia.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, so like I said. A Russian vpn endpoint is being blocked.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Oh, so like I said. A Russian vpn endpoint is being blocked.

How do you come to the conclusion that only a VPN is blocked when the same VPN provider works fine when pointing the VPN to Saudi Arabia?

Most likely, TS is blocking all connections from Russia.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 20 hours ago

Youre both saying the same thing!

"A russian VPN is blocked" is what you showed. From that, we can infer that probably all Russian ip's are blocked.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

You're both so confident when it could be either and we don't yet have evidence which.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

The only evidence we have is that the VPN endpoint was blocked, like one of the people are saying. Anything further than that would be speculation.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Weird echo in here.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I didn't even consider the alternative

[–] [email protected] 64 points 1 day ago (1 children)

100%, the logo image wouldn't load if this was state block.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not necessarily, it would depend on the type of block but 99% of the time you are right.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Redirects or mirror used in a block will usually specify who is hosting the warning

Not sure why "Truth" Social needs to run outside of America anyway, it's just an American ~~misinformation~~ disinformation platform aimed at Americans.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Last time I looked around there, there were a ton of scammers which I assumed were Russian. Lot of crypto scam shit. Also figured Russians were helping with the propaganda. But someone else in this thread posted what appears to show the site is blocked in Russia too. Which seems odd.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago

The general russian people are being fed a completely different set of propaganda messages. They don't want them getting confused.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Misinformation is unintentional. Truth Social is a disinformation platform.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

True, used the wrong word there! It's definitely intentional!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago

Not sure why "Truth" Social needs to run outside of America anyway, it's just a ~~American~~ Russian misinformation platform aimed at Americans.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago

American misinformation is free to all

Taking bets on how long before Trump claims this means Russia was right about Ukraine being run by nazi's, and cuts off all aid en route cold turkey?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"they're being run by Nazis" says the guy standing next to the Nazi salute guy and the secretary of defence with the Nazi tattoo ..

[–] [email protected] 5 points 23 hours ago

Every accusation is a confession, as usual.
