My friend sent me this, the current state of Reddit. (I left during the app issue and haven’t looked back)

    God… I can barely remember the time before the top comment threads of every goddamned post were always lazy strings of circle-jerky jokes that you could predict before even clicking into the thread.

    … and I am starting to see user agent and VPN blocks now just within the last few days… It’s officially over, so glad to be here. Been in the fediverse since the API shutdown. Bouncing between instances. First post on this one! Absolutely no regrets.

      Yeah I read they tried to play that off as an accident. You don’t “accidentally” block VPN users. That just doesn’t accidentally happen. They’re obviously attempting to do it, just waiting to deploy it. The anonymous social network sure does seem like they want you to not be anonymous.

        Is that what happened? I occasionally check reddit at work since it’s unfortunately still one of the better places for actual answers to things, and in the last few days I’ve needed to use old.reddit.com to get around getting blocked. VPN block explains a lot.

          It’s not confirmed what happened internally, but it was talked about a lot here for a while. Apparently VPN users were unable to access it and Reddit admins said that it was all accidental. It has just happened multiple times. Only for VPN users.
