Reddit taught me to never trust a silicon valley, centralized, proprietary service on the internet with my data and/or content

whoa there pardner

People who write "funny" error messages should be tied to a tree and have old circut boards thrown at their feet

Started? Been having that issue for months now. It only works on VPN if you're logged on.

Certain VPN servers can go through it they haven't implemented a block for it yet. AirVPN launched some new servers that worked for a bit, but Reddit blocked them a few weeks later.

These assholes forget that people need to use VPNs in many situations. All the bitch ass corporate folks that never have to use their computers in a coffee shop, etc. Fuck spez.

And I just discovered this some weeks ago. The "woah there, pardner!" is so cringeworthy.

what an absolute garbage site it has turned into

Evil bastards will continue to wring every bit of tracked engagement they can, now that they're publicly traded. It's the only way to satisfy capitalist markets. Woooooo!

I'm glad I'm over here now.

Workaround if you are using uBlock Origin:

reddit.com##+js(set-cookie-reload, reddit_session, 0)
old.reddit.com##+js(set-cookie-reload, reddit_session, 0)

Add this to your filters.

They really want to track you

To clarify, you can still use old reddit logged in with a VPN, but they no longer allow you to browse logged out with a VPN. Still bad of course. But if you're willing to log in you don't have to turn off your VPN. You can sign up with a throwaway/obfuscated email if needs be

Jokes on them I block them on the DNS level.

I'm making a list, and I'll be checking it thrice lol.

Gonna ban all major sites and IPs. The Internet used to be about the small guy not the downtown.

The Redlib frontend still works. In my opinion it also provides a much nicer UI than the official Reddit website or even old.reddit.com. This is the list of public instances: https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib-instances/blob/main/instances.md

Ok, you do that, but people who don't want to get cut off from 400 million people, how do we fuck up and breakthrough reddit's anti anonimity defenses ?

Killing reddit is on the table, but is there a more practical approach ?

RedLib, the continuation of LibReddit,
still works:
https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib

I use it in combination with this GreaseMonkey script,
to redirect me to a random RedLib instance:
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469587-reddit-to-libreddit-redirect

Due to instances often going down and/or stop working.

That's bad, Reddit is blocked in my country. VPN is my key to the open world

there is libreddit with multiple public instances, for example https://libreddit.lunar.icu

No clue how long it will take until they block that as well, but for now it works with VPN.

You can use a browser plugin for automatically redirecting.

I looked up to see is my VPN is connected. It is. Good. Moving right along.

So I can NOT access old.reddit anymore on any of my linux machines with firefox and nordvpn extension, but I can access both old and new on windows with firefox and extension, and old on android with FF mobile and nordvpn app. Haven't tried new on android for obvious reasons.

I’m not your pardner, buddy.

Oh, they did this with my actual ip lol don't know what I did

Fck reddit. We have lemmy. Let reddit rot.

Good. The more they abuse their user base the more people will look for alternatives. Hello Lemmy! :)

It is likely someone using the same VPN service using the same server or server on the same subnet was scraping data or similar and got blocked. Therefore you are too.

Confirmed by me

Same issue. I guess I'm never going back there. I've already stopped doing it, but from time to time a question I was researching let me to Reddit.

What's the best tool to delete your account, while also overriding all of your posts and comments?

How can they distinguish VPN users? I'm guessing it's a IP blocklist.

That's what i experienced today with tor, it didn't even surprise me

USE EU VPNs let them block the EU.
