Reddit can do better than this, and doesn't market itself as a "no censorship" alternative. Voat should be doing even better than reddit.
- Nadya 8y agoNo, but you were trying to access through a DigitalOcean IP which may have been range banned for spam/abuse/botting. Same reason why almost any public proxy is banned on 4chan. Same reason many uploading/hosting sites block Tor exit nodes. If your intention was to remain private - they do not guarantee that anywhere. Arguing that you "are" DigitalOcean and they are censoring you is a bit disingenuous if you ask me.
- jstanley 8y agoI'm not arguing that I am DigitalOcean any more than someone browsing via Comcast is Comcast. It wouldn't be fair to block all Comcast users and it's not fair to block all DigitalOcean users.
