For a while Reddit dot com has been blocking my browser since I use a VPN, but old reddit was still functional for me. Although I closed my reddit account just after the API-exodus, I still frequent the niche communities which has hyper-specific topics discussed.

Found to my surprise today that they are now blocking old reddit as well if I use a VPN.

Never thought that [old].[reddit].[com] would one day show that f'kin "Whoa there Pardner" page.

Fuck you spez. Really, fuck you.

Not sure what VPN you're using, but I found that PIA is blocked, but Proton isn't, as of last week anyway, something could have changed.

I have mullvad and also browse certain Reddit communities without an account. Some of the servers still get through. If you're using US servers I know there are a few of the NY, Atlanta, and Virginia servers I've been able to get through on. I've also gotten through on some of the West Coast ones but I can't remember which ones, I only remember the last 3 because they were the last ones I trial and error throughed while actually paying attention to which servers I was connecting to instead of picking at random.

One of Mullvad's Switzerland servers worked for me today

on ExpressVPN many servers are blocked but if you pick a smaller country like Luxembourg it can work

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
