Public resource but access restricted and exclusive@lemmy.sdf.org

exclusive_public_resources@lemmy.sdf.org

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !exclusive_public_resources@lemmy.sdf.org

This community tracks restricted access resources (generally websites) that are supposed to serve taxpayers and the general public, but they fail in that duty by imposing arbitrary restrictions on access. This is where we document these cases.

Most often, it is the Tor community who is marginalised by incompetantly implemented infosystems. This community will be mostly littered with references to tor-hostile public resources to a fatiquing extent, but this is expected. It is not necessarily limited to Tor. Any demographic of people who are refused service would have a relevant story here. E.g. someone traveling outside their country and being denied access to a homeland website on the basis of presumed IP geolocation.

This is very closely related to the !digi_fiefdom_required@lemmy.sdf.org community. But there are some nuanced differences. Not all fiefdoms are necessarily always restricted access. E.g. some rare Facebook pages are reachable to non-FB users.

And not all manifestations of restricted access entail a fiefdom. E.g. it’s increasingly common for a gov website to block Tor visitors at the firewall without involving a digital fiefdom.

Cases of Cloudflare, Facebook, LinkedIn and the like can be crossposted in many situations. They are a fiefdom walled garden and also commonly configured to restrict access. IDK… use your best judgement. Might suffice to just post in !digi_fiefdom_required@lemmy.sdf.org in those cases.

Also related: !netneutrality@sopuli.xyz

Scope and rules:

What is not relevant here:

NGOs
non-profits
anything in the private sector

This community is focused on tax-funded government programs and services like public education, social services, voter reg, courts, legal statutes, etc. NGOs and non-profits may exist for the pubic benefit, but if they are not funded by force (taxation) then they are not really relevant here.

Recommended style:

the title should mention the jurisdiction (state/province and/or country)

Visibility: Public

This community can be federated to other instances and be posted/commented in by their users.
