I think I figure out my issue. I’m running pfBlockerNG on my firewall and it looks like the lemmy.world server IP ended up in the CINS_army_v4 list and was getting blocked in my network.
Done. Sorry got distracted with my dog trying to eat my Joycon.

It almost sounds like an excuse for Reddit to “revert” the site back and restore the site to pre-blackout state…
There seems to be a misconception by a lot of corporates that shoving ads down users throats will make the users want what is advertised.
Personally, I go out of my way to avoid anything that are shown to me intrusively.
Unlike some of the 3P [third-party] apps, we are not profitable - Steve Huffman, Reddit CEO
Translation - we don't have control of the 3PA and they are getting in the way of moooore profit, so we want them gone.
That's the only logical conclusion. Wouldn't really make sense otherwise.
But....but...I like lurking.
