Youtube: Are you blocked from your favorite websites, like mastodon.social? Buy consumer VPN!
Real world: Office blocks your favorite website and VPN.
Anyhow, restrain yourself, follow the ToS and do not click on this mastodon client with a bunch of features for using mastodon on a hostile network
Specifically
- the usual domain is https://mawkingbird.com which is a new domain and block on some network for being new.
- API calls to mastodon.social are blocked, but there are many mastodon servers and in "anonymous" mode, you can do everything but post.
- Or you sign up to for an alt, once the app figures out which ones aren't blocked.♡ 0 ↻ 0Thought some more about this. If your employer blocks most mastodon servers, they almost certainly block open proxies and CORS Proxies (a more limited subset of proxies).
At the moment, if you want mastodon, you can find an unblocked (there are so many) instance because federation itself is a type of proxy. You get bytes from mastodon.social via something-else.social.
But if you will only settle for the full feature set, and not the readonly, then yeah, this might not excite those people.
