Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I honestly have no idea why anyone cares. We are a bakery and I don't even know who does our IT. I would guess it's someone that only shows up as needed
Most likely they use an off the shelf commercial solution with certain categories and it got flagged in one of those categories that IT had selected for. If I had to guess either "social media", "extremism", "political content" or something like that. As to why now, either they switched providers or the providers updated the lists and this site was included in it.
I suppose it's also possible they're monitory network usage and saw someone using a bunch of bandwidth + time browsing this site, deemed it non-essential for work purposes and blocked it on resource usage or preventing "time wasting by employees" reasons.
That sounds like the people I work for haha
