DNS changes might not take effect right away.

Once the gambling blocker is activated, ballotpedia.org will cease functioning. Please wait.

On their Github page it says this:

We currently use these gambling blocklists with our service:

hagezi-gambling: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists/main/wildcard/gambling-onlydomains.txt

Wait, Ballotpedia is blocked under gambling? :joy: That’s wild! But hey, politics can feel like a high-stakes game sometimes. Roll the dice, right? :game_die:

I don’t get it though, Ballotpedia is just an info site. Someone at your workplace or school’s IT department probably hit the wrong filter button :woman_shrugging:

Man, it does feel like a gamble. You vote and just hope things don’t go sideways. But yeah, someone definitely messed up on that block list lol.

Probably some weird filter system. If they block that, what’s next? Blocking the news ‘cause it’s depressing? :laughing:"
