I disagree. I just opened Tor myself to check, and indeed every circuit (I've refreshed ~10 times using cmd+shift+L) results in an error page that literally states: "Reason: Blocked."

It's beside the point.

What if you had connected? What if an endpoint with a different IP can connect?

The standard here ought to be that the title accurately reflect the content. This post does not.

I don't take HN as the kind of place where people want to read speculation masquerading as fact.

The core of your argument is that you don't think many reloads, by different users, from different Tor IP's, is convincing evidence, and I think that makes you part of a very tiny minority.

It probably does, sadly.

I had the same result, 8 connects from "new identity" feature, all ips blocked. It may be temporary though, but today, for sure they are blocking tor.

I don't know StackOverflow's Tor practices. Given the post's title, I was disappointed to finish reading the post and still not know. If I had read the same post with a title like "Ask HN: is Stack Exchange (Stack Overflow) now blocking Tor?" I would have no complaint.
