28.2. V2EX (semi-censored forum)
Website: https://v2ex.com/
Although this website appears to have some degree of freedom of speech, as of 2020, if you post something that is "unwelcome" an unclear definition or unwelcome, your IP gets immediately blocked and trying to even access the site redirects to a "403 Forbidden nginx" page.

and it doesn’t seem like there’s anything super sensitive in that comment.
They then tell you to contact them if you want to be restored:
请不要发布在V2EX不被欢迎的内容，如果你觉得这是规则误判请邮件联系hello@v2ex.com
but Ciro did that and there was no reply.
Later on Ciro noticed that his account was giving 400:
The forum is largely programmer dominated.
It had an ICP license 非经营性网站备案 (2000) in 2016, but lost it in 2019 to move servers back to USA, which is extremely shady. Blocked in China as of 2020-06 according to GreatFire (自由微博).
