Was looking for something else and noticed that SNORT has an explicit rule against .ml domains, automatically flags any DNS query for a .ml domain as "suspicious malware activity". I know that Meraki by default takes these kinds of rules as "Block this", and likely other corporate appliances, so there might be people unable to reach lemmy.ml through them. I imagine there's not many but hey :) The site mentions "No reported false positives" for the rule, might be a good idea to register at least one :)

Snort is intrusion detection software that commonly runs on corporate firewalls.
Meraki are corporate WiFi systems made by Cisco.
So basically potentially affecting anyone accessing through work resources.
