Huh, the site isn’t opening for me at all, DNS_PROBE_ERROR or ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED on my browsers. I wonder if it’s a country-wide block in Brazil? I saw some news yesterday on the police raiding pirate servers

the IP address is 103.224.182.241 if you want to try adding it to your hosts file to circumvent what appears to be a solely DNS-based block. or just change your DNS lookup server I guess.

ping 103.224.182.241 gives me a “general failure”. At least I can still find stuff via qbittorrent’s builtin search

Wouldn’t they at most have to comply with a DMCA takedown request within a reasonable amount of time? At least that seems to be what major platforms do. Not actually sure what happens for smaller platforms and many lemmy instances are hosted and owned outside the US too.
