If you go through my post history you can see I posted the same thing several months ago. If anything we’ve probably given reddit specific information on what VPNs you and I are using.
One reason I’ve stopped using reddit entirely. They require fingerprinting you. If you do a good job and they can’t fingerprint you, you get that screen. It is NOT blocked by IP of the VPN as some here have said. You can easily see the content through the same VPN while not logged on as long as you have enough identifiable tracking information to reasonably guess who you are.
It’s a great test now. If I’m ever let into view reddit now, I must have seriously screwed up somewhere in my security chain.
Reddit has blocked certain IP addresses from accessing its website. (In this case VPN IP addresses) you can use a peer 2 peer network through a vpn provider or tor which would not be on reddit block list.
Pretty sure checking a post on their site, say for a BG3 build idea, doesn’t constitute abuse.
The powers that be sacrificed their only value, their user base, to make money quick. We’ll see how it plays out long term, but I’ve moved away from social media. My lemmy use is only on my desktop at this point, and I get precious little time at it, so most of it isn’t spent on lemmy.
I can tell you they aren’t just banning IPs for abuse. I have run an OpenVPN server on Linode for years. I am the only one using that IP and it was blocked at some point. They are most likely blocking all known VPS IP blocks. OpenAI does the same thing with Cloudflare for ChatGPT.
Yep, I do the same because of my ISP. I run a WG server from AWS lightsail and only one using the IP. I’m not as blocked as other nodes but I’m still blocked on a few things. Plus eBay doesn’t really work to well.
I get nothing but the we searched everywhere page. It’s really annoying, as sometimes I’ll get a few pages of results and then it goes to that page. And other times it’s just straight to that page. Home page loads completely fine though.
I use kagi.com as a search engine and it automatically does that for links I click on thru them. I think there is a browser extension for Firefox that will do this for you as well.
