Not to mention a lot of site traffic is now getting tanked by the UK blocking everything because of the "online safety act" that's actually anything but (source)
Most recently my friend couldn't access a Reddit post about a dental issue of all things because it got marked as NSFW and it asked for her face or ID (can't remember) so she could see it (I ended up making her download TOR)
And Reddit completely.blocks you from reading when coming from a VPN exit, unless you are logged in (at least with. MullvadVPN).
Brave new world... :-(
Not if you put "old." before the "Reddit" into the address bar, the old UI doesn't force you to login
At least on TOR
It is a 50/50 shot for me if it makes you login with old or not
Thanks, will try that!
