Cannot access social.lol on mobile data

I can’t seem to access social.lol on my mobile network, ever! I’m on O2 in the UK and I can access all the other instances like mastodon.design, mastodonapp.uk, etc. both on the web and through apps. Only social.lol fails to connect. Is there a reason for this happening? Am I being stupid and missing something?

PS: It has never worked on mobile data for me. All the other instances do.

O2 has somehow flagged https://social.lol/ as an age-restricted site.

You can turn off the option on your account by logging in to MyO2 and going to this page: https://mymobile2.o2.co.uk/age-restricted-content

It should load fine then!

That works! Thank you!!

It’s so wild, because of all of the Mastodon instances out there, I’d bet that social.lol is one of the more family-friendly ones. Not sure if O2 broadly includes Mastodon sites or even what their selection criteria is, but it’s definitely annoying. :grimacing:

I agree, but it seems like no, because I think I can access most other instances fine. (I don’t remember coming across another blocked one, but I’m also less likely to remember any other server than my home-server being blocked.)

Well, I’m on a mission to get this corrected now. Wish me luck! :sweat_smile:
