A couple of days ago i noticed something off with blahaj.zone. I couldn't see images posted by users on blahaj, so i thought it was a problem on their side.

Well guess fucking what? After 3 days, it was STILL broken, so i opened it and...

Blocked. They fucking blocked blahaj.zone. Actually beyond parody🤦‍♂️ Why? What was the point? there's trans content literally everywhere on lemmy. what's next, block them all? So now if i want to see a post by a user on blahaj, i have to turn on my VPN (protonvpn.com is also blocked in saudi, jfc) just to see it. Fuck this place. 🙄

I swear a couple of days ago it worked. This is a mild annoyance (hence the community) but still.

It's so over guys, MBS said no more 196 😔

Easier said than done. At least, for the second one.

What are the obstacles in the way of leaving?

[-] fxomt@lemm.ee 6 points 1 hour ago

Getting citizenship is hard, (even asylum is turned down often). You need a stable job in that country, and above average skills to prove your worth. If not, you'll be deported back.

You also need to stay in that country for [upto] 10 years.

And you have to leave everything behind, your culture, your family, and your friends. It would be too dangerous to go back. And they might not even accept you, immigration is brutal.

Even after you become a citizen, many people will never truly accept you as your own, and see you as an immigrant, never as a citizen.

And Saudi Arabia is well known to harass, spy on, and even kill dissidents. There was a scandal with twitter, where the Sauds bought up large amounts of stocks, then ordered 3,000 Saudi dissident's private info. Even in other countries you aren't safe.

And money. You need money. A shit ton of it.

Who's giving you asylum exactly for "I'm from Saudi Arabia"? A refugee camp in North Africa if you're lucky?

Believe it or not, it's possible. If you're gay, trans, atheist or a whistleblower you are eligible for asylum. But you're right that just being born in Saudi isn't a free ticket to Berlin.
