Using the uBlock logger, I see the front page of lemmy.sdf.org contains links to images (?) like:

https://dataterm.digital/pictrs/image/03666666-e6be-4b2f-98c1-999efb79516d.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=96

I changed the hash, in case it's sensitive. I have no idea.

When I visit the URL, it doesn't load.

Could it be one of the communities has dodgy posts that link off to sites ublock doesn't like?

So, you're making an assertion that you cannot validate or prove.

Next time, try asking a question first if you are uncertain about something instead of leading with a statement that could be calumnious.

What? Me? I did ask I question. You replied to it :P

Actually, you made a claim without any explanatory information, and people (such as myself) were seeking clarification.

I don't think I did.

I asked if SDF was advertising.

The post reads:

Surely SDF doesn’t advertise? False positives?

Nothing assertive about that. Pretty clear that I was unsure what was happening!

They made a guess and clearly portrayed it as such.

If true, this is a bit disturbing. However, I run uBlock in my browser and don't recall seeing any blocking attempts when on this instance. Do you have any specific details?
