I just got this too. Using old Reddit (the realest Reddit (which still isn’t saying much)) got rid of the banner and allowed loading all the content.
I do the same thing here. I even use a bookmarklet that converts a current tab in reddit.com to an old.reddit.com link.
(code if anyone's interested) javascript:(function() { var currentUrl = window.location.href; var newUrl = currentUrl.replace(/^https:\/\/www\.reddit\.com/, 'https://old.reddit.com'); window.location.href = newUrl; })();
theres a extension that does that.
Just started getting this too today
Get the LibRedirect extension. It can send you to alternate mirrors of the same info not just for reddit but a bunch of other corporate data harvesting operations pretending to be websites.
I got permabanned like 6 months ago and I didn’t make an effort to combat it, I just took it as a sign, lol.
just over 12 months here.
Obligatory fuck /u/spez.
fuck spez
I also got this today, but my VPN was the reason it wasn’t working.
Reddit’s bs is pushing me to explore more of the Fediverse these days…
I started switching to tor-browser when they do this. Not sure why they allow tor but not vpn, but hey if it works it works.
What game is it? What’s the guide? I’ve been thinking of making some guides for games and posting them to Lemmy myself for a but now. I have absolutely no follow through lol
My residential IP (an inconspicuous Comcast network) gets blocked by this garbage on so many websites. I don’t know why VPNs are less suspicious to sites than my random california ip
If your able to spoof a different mac address and your ISP should assign you a different IP address
Yep noticed this today. Likely a way to get people to create accounts. And try to combat scraping.
I have an account and i still get it
What game and what part? Maybe I know the answer.
Nvm got it. It’s Zelda TOTK, couldn’t find where Robbie was in the darkness of the underground. I googled for the coordinates and some random website showed up, its solved.
I know that this is directly opposing conventional search wisdom here, but you can probably add -site:reddit.com
to your query.
How’s that gonna bypass the blocking tho?
Is it more important to you to access a game guide or to bypass blocking?
It won’t, but you were complaining that Reddit was always the top search result, and this will avoid that, putting other sources up there.
If you want to bypass it, you probably want a VPN terminating in a country that doesn’t have age restriction laws.
does archive.today work with reddit or do that block that?
I suspect that there will be issues occasionally, but I don't think I see any very often.
As an example, I got https://archive.is/oc41v as an archive of https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/comments/1cf6rzl/all_order_to_play_using_a_guide/ just now.
Using http://old.reddit.com
might produce results when using https://www.reddit.com
didn't.
Perfection! I forgot about this lol.
Take that, Steve Huffman, fuck your accounts lol
Would you be against using a redlib instance?
I get this while getting log in. I have to click on any link and go back on the page to charge it.
Visiting Reddit with tor at their onion address allows access. Sometimes it is rate limited, but you can just cycle circuits until it works
We get it too when using virtual desktops in the cloud at work. It’s hilarious.
I just wish I had a way to block them. Sometimes I’m troubleshooting or researching and a Reddit thread pops up. It’s a waste of space since I can’t even visit the damn site.
Haha because of your comment i finally searched whether duckduckgo allows you to remove certain sites from all search results. And the first result was reddit. But then I got this exact message too, for the first time. Irony? I guess reddit truly is dead now. I’m just using my home network, no vpn or anything…
I don't recall a time when I had a problem with using https://www.privacyguides.org/en/tor/#tor-browser to see a Reddit page
I see this when behind decent NAT like an employers office.
Do you happen to use an ISP that implements CGNAT? I’ve seen this error, too, and I’ve read that it’s flagging CGNAT IPs as a VPN?
I was using my phone, mobile data.
They may be using CGNAT. If you check your local IP and it starts with 10, 172, or 192 when on mobile data that is the case.
Not here
Im getting this message today and only in Mobile. Now what will i do for 90% of my work day
Read The Three Body Problem and tell the aliens to come here.
(If you have android, you could pirate Into The Breach, Stardew Valley, or Slay the Spire. Very fun games! 😉)

I’ve been getting this too since last night. I’m not using a vpn AND I’m logged into my account. Oh well. Fuck reddit.
