So I’ve discovered recently that instead the moderators and admins doing their due diligence, they’ll just ban your IP. I can’t wait for this to blow up in their face.
You must log in or register to comment.
That will be fun for VPN users
In before VPNs get labeled as against their TOS
Already can’t use a VPN with reddit, so…
Thought it was just when not logged in not blanket blocks
Yeah, but if you aren’t logged in and just need to quickly search stuff it blocks you. It has made me use it much less as a source of info, as I’m not gonna log in on multiple devices that don’t support old reddit.
There are devices that don’t support old? Til
“Stealth” is a useful tool for visiting Reddit. It’s available on F-Droid. https://gitlab.com/cosmosapps/stealth
Otherwise using old.reddit with a browser has been a decent fallback.
They’re terrified of the tech savvy user, and that’s funny to me
As well as anyone using public wifi
As well as people under CGNAT or, as in my case, under ISPs who lease different addresses twice every week.
especially where Reddit are banned in some countries like China and Indonesia
VPNs have already been banned for quite some time.
They’ve been temp banning various VPN IPs for a few years now, giving you a network error when you try to access reddit through the browser from a flagged IP. Although it’s been fine for the last couple weeks or so, but that might just be luck or the lack of me trying.

They could just block VPNs but how about a house/apartment with multiple reddit users? Coffee shops? Libraries? Offices?
This seems like it would come with a shitload of practical drawbacks, never mind the capricious nature of reddit bans in the first place.
Their ban reporting is straight up broken and regularly abused by botnets, this will make that problem even worse.
My IP which is constantly changing? The one that I can change at will to anywhere on the planet? Oh no!
Oh wait, I don’t use reddit so I care even less.
https://lemm.ee/comment/14334883 I’ll leave the final judgement up to you. Were you trying criticize my post or reddit’s standards
A wise man has something to say while a fool has to say something lol. While i appreciate your right to comment. It’s kind of unnecessary
Why are you so rude? They agree with you and gave an example of how it could “blow up in their faces” (as you put it) and then you came back with a snippy remark
Because I might be an asshole and misunderstood the situation. However, the last sentence seems unnecessary for the topic
I get what you’re saying, but there’s an extremely strong anti-reddit culture on Lemmy. I think that remark was aimed more at reddit than you
From public perspective, you’re closer to being right than I am
Is this satire? It has to be, right? Considering your comment is entirely unnecessary?
I guess you know what unnecessary is, don’t ya
The wise and mighty FartsWithAnAccent has spoken.
🤣
I’m under the impression the ban by device ID. As the Reddit app states they get that data on the App Store.
I got all my accounts banned and my IP banned so I can’t go there if I wanted. Which is great! Now I haven’t created a pro LGBTQA forum on here so I have time to do other things around the house. If you like your reddit just be more Nazi. They like that.
Did you even read the year old thread?
Does it make you feel better if I said skimmed?
