Question: I’m guessing this blocking is all based off of IP address, can anyone confirm?

If so, does a VPN with (say) a US endpoint get around it?

    I downloaded a Canadian news app after RIF went down, it has the most vile comment section I have ever seen.

      Ask yourself who would comment on a news app instead of Reddit. The answers write themselves.

          They’re typically less tech savvy, older, and trend Conservative. They’re also the segment of that demographic that wants to write comments (i.e. they have stronger/more extreme beliefs)

          It’s likely to be the more extreme rural Conservatives.
