I’m guessing using a URL shortener would get around that, but don’t use that hellscape of a platform so can’t verify myself.
I tried it with https://kutt.it, to no avail. Facebook checks the page it is redirecting, and in the case of https://lemmygrad.ml, the link created by the redirector also becomes blocked.
that’s unfortunate
Wow, you mean our own Lemmygrad? That’s absolutely horrible.
“I hold that it is bad as far as we are concerned if a person, a political party, an army or a school is not attacked by the enemy, for in that case it would definitely mean that we have sunk to the level of the enemy.
It is good if we are attacked by the enemy, since it proves that we have drawn a clear line of demarcation between the enemy and ourselves.
It is still better if the enemy attacks us wildly and paints us as utterly black and without a single virtue; it demonstrates that we have not only drawn a clear line of demarcation between the enemy and ourselves but achieved a great deal in our work.”
Mao Zedong. “To be attacked by the enemy is not a bad thing but a good thing”
Based Mao Zedong
Haha this should make us all incredibly proud.
Well then get those posts from lemmy.ml or baraza.africa or smthn
Good idea, I’ll test it out later.
Could someone test out dev.lemmy.ml too?
The “lemmy.ml” domain has been blocked too, but it happened after Lemmygrad was blocked, because it used to work before.
This “https://bubble.ml” link is not blocked for instance, meaning that the top-level domain “.ml” is not automatically blocked, and that blocking both lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml was a conscious decision of Facebook.
Gotcha, thx.
Ok then, to show lemmygrad posts, use baraza.africa instead
I have an idea: If URL shortners and mirrors do not work, how about enciphering the address in some easy cypher like ROT-13 (explicitly pointing out to that fact and giving a website of which there a dozens to decipher quickly). That’s a common practice to hide emails posted in public from web crawlers, to avoid receiving spam. This only protects from automatic removals and doesn’t hide it from anticommunists however, it still being possible to be censored if someone reports it. One may have to change the cipher if some platforms start remembering the enciphered address.
