TIL my school has blocked mastodon, but not lemmy, X, reddit, or anything else for some reason

Anyways, very funny, tho I dont understand half of it

Maybe they didn't block mastodon but .social domain for "security" reasons, with other less common domain names probably in some black list like .zip.

You can use this form to unblock Mastodon

Can't you just use another instance to unblock Mastodon?

Would be better if it was for a one of the April 1 RFCs, like 1149...

RFC791 is the formalization of IPv4 itself. Which goes back to 1981.

Carriers being attacked by birds of prey. RFC2549: "Unintentional encapsulation in hawks has been known to occur, with decapsulation being messy and the packets mangled."

It's about TCP, lookup TCP packet or TCP header

I don't understand why I'm being downvotes but alright.

The joke is NOT about TCP it's something else entirely

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datagram#Internet_Protocol%3Fwprov=sfla1 it's like meta data on data packets it's lower level then udp and tcp
