I know this can’t be definitively answered with certainty (heck, maybe the IT dept just doesn’t like feddit lol), I was moreso just curious to know if a bored wizard had any clarifying explanation on the matter.

If context/details are helpful (not doxxing myself obvs) I work for a fortune 100 corpo logistics company based in Pittsburg that is def not UPS or DHL lol

I’m so puzzled by what is and isn’t blocked at my work. Youtube = fine ; chess.com = risk and blocked b/c game
piefed = fine ; feddit.online = risk and blocked because PUP potential ; reddit = fine

Is our IT terrible or is this the case for most corpos that cheap out on such things?

    Sigh. As the feddit.online Admin, I can assure there is absolutely no reason for a PUP concern nor anything that would raise such a concern.

    I work for a major North American bank. I just checked, and neither site are blocked where I work, which I found surprising. They tend to block aggressively.

    Maybe they just block the .online TLD?

      So I can access ‘wordpress.online’ but that may be due to it redirecting to wordpress.org maybe? I can also access kameleon.online which doesn’t redirect tho🤔
