I just wanted to peek at the front page. I guess they don’t want people to use their shit anymore. I’m starting to believe in the dead internet theory.
Become? Where you been, man?

Fuck the hurensohn forever and always.
Meinten Sie vielleicht Burensohn oder Uhrensohn, werter Herr?
Lol, what did you say that got you banned?
This just happens if you’re using a VPN… notice how it says “login to your Reddit account”?
Switching to a good VPN server, or turning off the VPN will let you browse Reddit again.
During prime time in my experience almost all VPN server IPs are blocked. I find this generally really odd since I thought they even offer an onion link for the TOR network.
Just login bro, you don’t even have to interact, just lurk around.
Just install the neuralink chip into your brain bro, it doesn’t even hurt, just don’t value privacy.
I would if Elon would accept me, privacy doesn’t exist anymore anyways. Just sell yourself, it’s free money.
nah, that would be twitter. reddit is catching up tho.
Are you using a vpn?
Fuck Reddit and their demogogue mods.
Oh, there’s a fair amount if those here too.
use redlib, it’s a private frontend, here’s a comment i made about it https://lemmy.world/comment/8577440
Tried redlib-redirect but unfortunately that doesn’t seem to do anything… :(
I use this
Ridiculous permissions. Pass.
Can you guys stop talking about your ex ? You’re with lemmy now, forget about the old bitch.

It’s the Reddit community, juste block it if you don’t want to see it
It’s ok, I was mainly making a joke :-) I don’t mind a reddit related post every once in a while, it’s always funny to see what reddit turned into
There is still content there. I find myself there often with a lot of web searches.
It hasn’t gone quite as bad as Twitter. Not yet anyway.
I’m all for staying here on Lemmy: Lemmings are nicer than Redditors and the place is a lot higher S/N ratio.
But… sadly, due to inertia, Reddit is still where a lot of stuff is squarely at. There are long-established Reddit communities - often nice, well behaved communities - that don’t give a toss about the Reddit drama, and are simply not interested in moving out.
I’ve been trying to kickstart an equivalent Reddit community here on Lemmy for almost a year. While there’s a handful of members, it’s basically just me infrequently posting in it. The original one on Reddit has almost 10K members, is fairly active, and clearly none of the members know anything about Lemmy - much less want to create an account and join my insignificant equivalent community. I keep it around in case Reddit enshittifies to such an extent that even those who don’t care start taking notice. But at the moment, inertia is much too strong.
Hello,
I just pinged you into one of the communities we created for people in a similar situation to you (singler poster for a community, trying to keep it alive). Feel free to have a look there, I hope you’ll find it interesting to be able to share your experience with others
Seems like the Bats community here on Lemmy.world was popular due to some new posts every day.
which community? I tried to see if I could swing by to support your budding community whatever it is, so I had a look through your posts and couldnt see a community you moderate?
Yeah I’ve noticed a lot of these vague negative comments about lemmy and I particularly don’t like them.
Its good to get specific so people can help if they are able.
Strange because the first thing I see when I open my profile in a private window is that single community I moderate.
It’s nice of you to want to help but it’s the kind of community you typically join only when you’re unlucky enough to be concerned 🙂
also !badreligion@lemm.ee I guess
I was going to ask the same question, but I’d have nothing of real value to add. Great for those that do to have that kind of support though.
haha yeah thats a pretty specific topic dude :) I’d say keep it up, someone who’d be happy to see it here will some day join lemmy and it’ll mean something to them
I hear you, when I look at my profile I see that I moderate https://lemm.ee/c/badreligion (same problem, thousands back on whatever its called and a few upvotes, but rarely a comment. time and patience; we’ll rule over c/ empires someday you and I
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !badreligion@lemm.ee
why can’t this bot just go ahead and fix it?

Is anyone aware that you have to change this? It bases it off your IP as soon as you make an account you have to change that in your settings to turn that off. Not sure if this helps at all but I just don’t understand
I don’t think that this affects their blocking. If it did, then bots would be able to change this to get around it as well.
Ah, I remember this crap. It’ll show you content based on location. I’m almost certain that it’s unrelated to the block.
Yeah, reddit started blocking VPN users a few months ago unless you log in.
Also TOR, but you can easily tell it to use a different circuit and most of the times it isn’t blocked, in my experience.
Lol yeah I can’t get on it at work anymore. Goodbye to all the traffic they get from people looking for tech advice on corporate networks. Fucking morons.
My work is also banned due to “suspicious” activity.
They’re banning VPNs. I have no idea why, but reddit is unusable at this point.
So people training their AI models have to pay them instead of scraping them for free. Got to make those share holders happy, right? Even if it goes against its own founding ideals.
It could be a simple way to prevent bots which clearly isn’t working, or perhaps users who reveal their IP address are worth more to advertisers.
Don’t they have an onion site?
users who reveal their IP address are worth more to advertisers.
I suspect they’re able to track a lot of they have your IP address.
i’ve never had an office job but it’s extremely obnoxious they seem to regularly filter the internet like you’re in school. there were so so many important resources (including youtube) which had legitimate educational and technical value they’d take away as some bullshit austerity ritual
That isn’t the issue here. I agree with you, but in this case the filter is on Reddit’s side. It is common and justifiable for corporate machines to use a vpn. Sometimes public traffic doesn’t go through, but not always.
A shame you had lame tech Bros at your job. Ive had a couple office jobs and they both restricted a ton of stuff but they left reddit open.
That’s actually a deprecation warning. You’re meant to move to a more modern platform.
I’m already here.
How do we know you’re actually here though? 🤔
From my limited understanding… If he was from a different instance he would have a username like this: username@nerdshit.nerdshit
We’ll make something better.
Every time I see that stupid little alien, I change my mind about visiting. I see Spez’s smug grin on that stupid little goo blob avatar and it just makes me want to find my info anywhere else.

All jokes aside, fuck that greedy sociopath.
Anytime I think about making a comment if I happen to be on reddit researching a niche thing, I think “do I want to give Spez $5? FUCK NO!”
He can make his own content. I couldn’t imagine putting in a thankless job moderating and watching that shitter slide up to the bank to withdrawal your free time and effort.
Tech companies are now the hot new thing for MBAs to put into their resumes. That’s why you see this enshittification. Used to be the money people didn’t want to work in tech because it made them feel dumb. That was what made the industry work. Those times are over.
MBA’s do not get enough shit for being a root cause of the deterioration for modern life.
It really is a bullshit career. Companies should be run by people who came up in the industry and learned all the pitfalls rather than college kids who learned how to not pay contracts until they’re legally forced to.
Reddit got run down because they were trying to make it turn more profit because they were planning to IPO for maximum value.
Used to be the money people didn’t want to work in tech because it made them feel dumb.
No one has ever spent more than five minutes speaking to a tech worker and felt dumb afterwards.
That was what made the industry work.
Yeah, tech companies had such a high success rate from 1990-2010.
Solid points, my dude.
Found the junior mba
I don’t imagine the tens of thousands of shitty tech startups by people who don’t know anything about tech which are popping up and exploding (in the bad way) are doing so well for the “success rate” now.
