Swept up in an IP ban? (piefed.social)

I can't access piefed on my phone anymore, just spits out a 403. Can access it here fine. Did I get caught in some blanket IP ban?

Not sure who to ask or if this was the right place to ask, forgive me if not.

edit:

I’m using my mobile web browser and getting the issue, i don't use summit. I also tried different web browsers and proxies, still 403.

It's unlikely to be an IP ban. Within the piefed software, an IP ban basically coincides with a site ban. At the infrastructure level, your IP may be banned because it was doing some pretty heavy DDOS'ing and got swept up that way. Since your user isn't banned, try switching between a mobile network and a wifi connection to see if that resolves things since your IP would have changed.

Are you trying the mobile browser or one of the mobile apps? If it is the mobile browser, try clearing the site data for piefed (cookies, etc.). There have been some cases in the past where a browser's local cache is not being refreshed properly and weird stuff starts to happen, like the CSRF tokens mismatching and whatnot.

I switched between a few networks (using VPN) and consistently get the same experience - 403 on mobile, no errors in web.

Mobile browser, or one of the apps (voyager, summit, interstellar, etc.)?

Mobile browser for web, app is Summit (only 403 here)

I see, so Summit is where the 403's are coming from. I'll do some testing on my end and see if I can figure it out.

Edit: confirm that Summit is giving a 403, but other apps are still working...investigating....
