Reddit works fine for me(Russia/Yota provider), what is the target url? Everything I can find for (Minimal and Reliable Methods for Growing Psilocybe site:reddit.com) works for me as well, but can't find that exact title in search engines. Interesting, how bureaucrats finding such stuff? :)

Ah, you know how it goes; generally, it either comes from a report filed to Roskomnadzor by a "concerned patriotic citizen" (like famed private citizen Vitaly Milonov), or it's a case of, "Gosh, it sure would be terrible if we found something here that would force us to ban this site" (the same way that the FSNP would hate for there to be something you forgot to pay taxes on, citizen of questionable patriotic status). I figure the latter in this case.

  Are you working there(Roskomnadzor)? What is FSNP?
  - HillRat 11y ago
    What is FSNP? Old tax police, I forgot that they split it between GUEBiPK at MVD and SEB at FSB years ago (and, I guess, more recently SK picked up some of that portfolio). Can't keep track of all the different security organs these days.... Nevertheless, you think I'd have gotten that right, since I just read a piece about Sugrobov and Kolesnikov's prosecution.

      Sorry, I've totally lost the point totally, especially about that: "FSNP would hate for there to be something you forgot to pay taxes on, citizen of questionable patriotic status". Never heard about "questionable patriotic status" in my practice / from other people. And how that's linked with tax police? For sure, tax police will be disappointed in case of a missed payment, that's how it works (everywhere).

There are posts in the most popular Reddit thread for this article (https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/3gqreu/ https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/3gqreu/) explaining that the blocking varies from provider to provider. Some are only blocking it on the DNS level, so users are able to use Google DNS to circumvent the block. Others aren't bothering with the block at all. Still others are incompetently trying to block only a single URL (which doesn't work with https). Saying "it works for me!" is rarely a very thorough diagnostic. However there's also a lot of criticism for Meduza, the source reporting this.

  Meduza is usually criticized by pro-Putin people because they are quite oppositionally-inclined: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meduza https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meduza "Meduza is run by a team of around 20 journalists who resigned from their jobs at Lenta.ru following Galina Timchenko’s unexpected removal from her post by the website’s owner and Vladimir Putin ally, the oligarch Alexander Mamut"

  Well, finally I've found blocked url ( https://www.reddit.com/r/rudrugs/comments/1derq9/%D0%BC%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B9_%D0%B8_%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%B6%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B9_%D0%BC%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%B4_%D0%B2%D1%8B%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%89%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F_%D0%BF%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%BE%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%B1%D1%8B/ https://www.reddit.com/r/rudrugs/comments/1derq9/%D0%BC%D0%B... ), it gives me "403 Forbidden. Request forbidden by administrative rules. " error, unlike rest of the site. Reddit works fine for RosTelecom also(the biggest uplink provider in the country). It's truly worrisome to see repeating of blatant western propaganda stamps involving Putin / Ukrainian conflict / Mh-17 / whatever here in the HN comments instead of factual checks / investigation. Especially considering the fact blatant and usually lying western propaganda(easily accessible in Russia today) is the main reason of pro-western views decay here.
