They've basically banned anonymous accounts. Their whole thing was anonymity.

They seem to be blocking access from certain IPs and VPNs (if not logged in?) Which is funny because some of these VPNs are not really hiding anything. Like my work VPN which I would think makes it pretty obvious which company I work for. Annoying when search results link to reddit content.

You can use this script with a browser addon like Tampermonkey to get around the sign-in requirement:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         reddit - unblock (create cookie and reload)
// @namespace    Violentmonkey Scripts
// @match        *://*.reddit.com/*
// @grant        none
// @version      2024-01-08
// @noframes
// @license      MIT License
// @description  for "Blocked" "whoa there, pardner!" cowboy bs
// ==/UserScript==
/* thanks: https://www.reddit.com/r/mullvadvpn/comments/18jbxb2 */
if (document.title === "Blocked") {
  document.cookie="reddit_session=;Domain=.reddit.com;Path=/;Expires=;Secure=true;SameSite=None";
  window.location.reload();
}

Why should the user have to fix reddit to make it functional?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

This what infuriates me the most.

I use a VPN (because my government is insane) and i get a “security warning” if I visit any Reddit post (even old Reddit).

All they’re doing is building a moat around OUR content we created.

Wait first I'm hearing of this one. What happened now?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think they're referring to the fact that you no longer can create accounts without using an email address. You were able to use a UI loophole to do it before via Old Reddit, but no more.

Woah, it's finally gone? Guess I haven't been back in a while

Without anonymity it is in fact pointless. Pseudo anonymity is extremely useful I basically won't go anywhere without it. That's definitely a feature we should advertise to people, you can actually be anonymous
