Who Blocked Me On Twitter

Often, the reason is a mix of legal and technical factors and not some mysterious vendetta against a single site. In plain terms, many ISPs block a domain when they receive a court order, DMCA takedown, or official notice that the site is facilitating copyright infringement, illegal streaming, or distribution of copyrighted material. Governments and rights holders often go to ISPs because they can reach a huge number of users quickly that way. On top of that, security providers and blocklists will flag domains that host malware, phishing pages, or ads that cross the line; once a domain shows up on a few major blacklists, ISPs sometimes apply automated blocks to protect customers. From a technical perspective, there are a handful of common blocking methods that explain what you see in your browser: DNS blocking (the ISP’s DNS returns NXDOMAIN or a redirect), IP address blocking (the ISP blackholes the server IP), SNI/DPI filtering for encrypted traffic (blocking based on the TLS Server Name or inspecting packets), and HTTP proxy filters that look for URL patterns. If a site shares infrastructure with other sites on the same IP, a broad IP block can be applied, affecting multiple domains. False positives happen too — a benign site can get swept up if its host or CDN is abused by others. If I were troubleshooting, I’d check WHOIS and DNS records, run the URL through VirusTotal or similar reputation tools, and look at community reports on places like Reddit or small web-outage trackers. Operators can appeal to registrars, remove infringing content, or migrate to a clean host; ISPs can publish takedown notices in some regions. Personally, I find these situations frustrating because legitimate sites can get collateral damage, but I also appreciate that ISPs have to balance legal compliance and customer safety.

Lately I've been poking at raijinscan from a dozen devices just to see what's up, and here’s how I think about whether it's down for maintenance or blocked. If the site returns a Cloudflare-style error page (those cryptic 5xx pages or a big JavaScript captcha), it often means the hosting layer or DDoS protection is doing something — that can be scheduled maintenance or an emergency response. If you see a plain browser timeout or 'couldn't find server' errors, that points toward DNS or an ISP block. What I do first is check a couple of public status tools — DownDetector, 'Is It Down Right Now?' and similar sites — because they aggregate user reports and show spikes. Then I try the quick local checks: open a private window, try a different device, and flip my phone to mobile data so I can tell if it's my home network. If raijinscan serves a '503 Service Unavailable' with a Retry-After header, that’s usually intentional maintenance; if it’s a 403 or a TTL-expired DNS error, it might be blocked by the ISP or by a domain-level action. If you want to dig deeper, using a VPN or Tor can tell you whether an IP-level block is in place — if the site loads via VPN but not on your normal connection, you're likely being blocked. On the flip side, if the site is down everywhere, nothing you do locally will help. Keep an eye on the site's social channels or community Discords for official notices; many small sites post maintenance alerts there. Personally, I hope it’s just a brief maintenance window — fingers crossed they get things back up quickly, because I miss checking the latest uploads.

Viral moments usually come from a few ingredients, and the Takamine clip hit them all in a really satisfying way. I was smiling reading the chain of events: a short, perfectly-timed clip from 'Please Put Them On, Takamine-san' landed in someone's feed with a caption that made people laugh and squirm at once. The scene itself had an instantly recognizable emotional hook — awkward intimacy mixed with goofy charm — and that’s the sort of thing people love to screenshot, subtitle, and remix. From there the usual Twitter mechanics did the heavy lifting. Someone with a decent following quote-tweeted it, others added reaction images, and a couple of creators turned it into short edits and looping GIFs that were perfect for retweets. Because it was easy to understand without context, international fans subtitled it, so the clip crossed language barriers fast. People started using the line as a template for memes, dropping the audio under unrelated videos and making joke variations. That memetic flexibility is what takes content from 'cute' to viral. What I enjoyed most was watching fan communities collaborate—artists, meme-makers, and everyday viewers all riffing on the same moment. A few heated debates about whether it was wholesome or embarrassing actually boosted engagement, too. Watching it spread felt like being part of a live remix culture, and I kept refreshing my feed just to see the next clever spin. It was chaotic and delightful, and I loved every iteration I stumbled on.

I get a little thrill imagining which tiny universe lines will land as a Twitter heartbeat. Late at night with a mug growing cold beside me, I jot these down and picture them over a star photo. 'We are stardust with stubborn hearts.' 'The night keeps secrets; the stars are generous.' 'Look up—someone else is making the same wish.' 'Small lights, big questions.' 'Even silence has a constellation.' 'Orbit what makes you shine.' 'Gravity is just a polite suggestion.' Some of these work best short and clipped for contrast, others like 'Even silence has a constellation' want a soft image behind them. I like pairing the cheeky ones with a wink emoji or a simple telescope photo; the wistful ones get plain text so the words sit in the open. Try one with #stargazing or #space and one with no hashtag to see what vibe your followers prefer. If I'm feeling playful I throw in a comet GIF; when I'm feeling mellow I leave the line alone and watch replies trickle in, like constellations rearranging themselves.

For me, the most popular Twitter novels among anime enthusiasts are the ones that blend the fast-paced, visually driven storytelling of anime with the bite-sized format of tweets. One standout is 'Threads of Fate,' a series that unfolds in real-time, with each tweet adding a new layer to the story. It’s about a group of teenagers who discover they’re reincarnations of ancient warriors destined to save their world. The author uses GIFs and fan art to bring the characters to life, making it feel like you’re watching an anime unfold in your feed. The way they weave cliffhangers into each thread keeps you hitting that refresh button, and the community engagement is insane—people theorize, create fan art, and even write spin-offs in the replies. Another one that’s been blowing up is 'Echoes of the Void.' It’s a sci-fi epic set in a universe where humanity has colonized distant planets, but at a cost. The story is told through the perspective of a young pilot who uncovers a conspiracy that could destroy everything. What makes it unique is how the author uses multimedia—videos of space, sound effects, and even mini-games—to immerse you in the world. It’s like reading a novel, watching an anime, and playing a game all at once. The pacing is perfect for Twitter, with each thread leaving you wanting more. Then there’s 'Crimson Petals,' a dark fantasy that’s been gaining a lot of traction. It’s about a cursed kingdom where flowers bloom from the blood of the fallen, and a young girl who must navigate this brutal world to find her missing brother. The author’s use of poetic language and vivid imagery makes it feel like you’re reading a Studio Ghibli film. The way they handle themes of loss and resilience resonates deeply with the anime community, and the episodic nature of the tweets makes it easy to follow. What I love about these Twitter novels is how they’ve created a new way to experience stories. They’re not just text on a screen—they’re interactive, immersive, and constantly evolving. The authors are incredibly talented at using the platform’s limitations to their advantage, crafting stories that feel fresh and exciting. It’s no wonder they’ve become so popular among anime enthusiasts—they capture the essence of what makes anime so special, while also pushing the boundaries of storytelling in the digital age.

Oh man, this is one of those headaches that sneaks up on you right after a deploy — Google says your site is 'blocked by robots.txt' when it finds a robots.txt rule that prevents its crawler from fetching the pages. In practice that usually means there's a line like "User-agent: *\nDisallow: /" or a specific "Disallow" matching the URL Google tried to visit. It could be intentional (a staging site with a blanket block) or accidental (your template includes a Disallow that went live). I've tripped over a few of these myself: once I pushed a maintenance config to production and forgot to flip a flag, so every crawler got told to stay out. Other times it was subtler — the file was present but returned a 403 because of permissions, or Cloudflare was returning an error page for robots.txt. Google treats a robots.txt that returns a non-200 status differently; if robots.txt is unreachable, Google may be conservative and mark pages as blocked in Search Console until it can fetch the rules. Fixing it usually follows the same checklist I use now: inspect the live robots.txt in a browser (https://yourdomain/robots.txt), use the URL Inspection tool and the Robots Tester in Google Search Console, check for a stray "Disallow: /" or user-agent-specific blocks, verify the server returns 200 for robots.txt, and look for hosting/CDN rules or basic auth that might be blocking crawlers. After fixing, request reindexing or use the tester's "Submit" functions. Also scan for meta robots tags or X-Robots-Tag headers that can hide content even if robots.txt is fine. If you want, I can walk through your robots.txt lines and headers — it’s usually a simple tweak that gets things back to normal.

This question pops up all the time in forums, and I've run into it while tinkering with side projects and helping friends' sites: if you block a page with robots.txt, search engines usually can’t read the page’s structured data, so rich snippets that rely on that markup generally won’t show up. To unpack it a bit — robots.txt tells crawlers which URLs they can fetch. If Googlebot is blocked from fetching a page, it can’t read the page’s JSON-LD, Microdata, or RDFa, which is exactly what Google uses to create rich results. In practice that means things like star ratings, recipe cards, product info, and FAQ-rich snippets will usually be off the table. There are quirky exceptions — Google might index the URL without content based on links pointing to it, or pull data from other sources (like a site-wide schema or a Knowledge Graph entry), but relying on those is risky if you want consistent rich results. A few practical tips I use: allow Googlebot to crawl the page (remove the disallow from robots.txt), make sure structured data is visible in the HTML (not injected after crawl in a way bots can’t see), and test with the Rich Results Test and the URL Inspection tool in Search Console. If your goal is to keep a page out of search entirely, use a crawlable page with a 'noindex' meta tag instead of blocking it in robots.txt — the crawler needs to be able to see that tag. Anyway, once you let the bot in and your markup is clean, watching those little rich cards appear in search is strangely satisfying.

Okay, let me walk you through this like I’m chatting with a friend over coffee — it’s surprisingly common and fixable. First thing I do is open my site’s robots.txt at https://yourdomain.com/robots.txt and read it carefully. If you see a generic block like: User-agent: * Disallow: / that’s the culprit: everyone is blocked. To explicitly allow Google’s crawler while keeping others blocked, add a specific group for Googlebot. For example: User-agent: Googlebot Allow: / User-agent: * Disallow: / Google honors the Allow directive and also understands wildcards such as * and $ (so you can be more surgical: Allow: /public/ or Allow: /images/*.jpg). The trick is to make sure the Googlebot group is present and not contradicted by another matching group. After editing, I always test using Google Search Console’s robots.txt Tester (or simply fetch the file and paste into the tester). Then I use the URL Inspection tool to fetch as Google and request indexing. If Google still can’t fetch the page, I check server-side blockers: firewall, CDN rules, security plugins or IP blocks can pretend to block crawlers. Verify Googlebot by doing a reverse DNS lookup on a request IP and then a forward lookup to confirm it resolves to Google — this avoids being tricked by fake bots. Finally, remember meta robots 'noindex' won’t help if robots.txt blocks crawling — Google can see the URL but not the page content if blocked. Opening the path in robots.txt is the reliable fix; after that, give Google a bit of time and nudge via Search Console.
