Its for a guide to a part of a game I’m stuck on and reddit is always the top search result. Fuck this shit.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
I’ve all but stopped browsing and using my reddit account due to the public buyout and enshittification, and haven’t participated in that cesspool in a long time now, but now that they’ve decided to ban links to the Internet Archive I want to delete my account and data completely.
Reddit died just like Digg when they sold out. What a waste.
Lately I have been getting blocked as a bot by Cloudflare too. It sucks to be restricted from the internet just because I care about privacy.
FWIW, I get this all the time when I’m on a VPN. Only some nodes, but I’ve been seeing this for maybe 2 years, and getting more and more common.
Happens on old.reddit.com and regular reddit as well.
If you don’t need to be logged in, there’s plenty of redlib front ends that will work around this.
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.
I know. I also know not everyone likes installing extensions in their browser because they can be a security risk, and they can even change your browser fingerprint (which makes your browser more trackable), compared to bookmarklets, which do not.
There’s the option to use something like violentmonkey with a script for site redirecting, if you prefer something automatic
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
Got that today. Changed to old.Reddit.com and no issues. Almost like new Reddit sucks
Truly the new Coke of websites.
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
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.
Login over TOR and you’ll be shadow banned.
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.
I was gonna make a comment about how at least lemmy is “picking up steam” user wise, but then I remembered all the dipshits and children that are on reddit. Lemmy is slower but content and discussion so far has been of much higher quality.
“Higher Quality”
Comments be like:
i consider myself an anarchist and i agree with many of the opinions people have on here, but like holy shit i just want to look at stuff that isn’t politics for once. like i feel like that’s all lemmy has. not that reddit is much better but there’s some hidden gem communities on there, but ive yet to find any here
I mean tbf, politics is all that is on a lot of people’s minds. Americans especially. Its kind of the front and center thing with TFG in charge. I’m just elated to see actual discussion, angry as it may be, instead of an endless chain of (Removed). It’s nostalgic and raw. It reminds me of the old days.
I’d love a return to pre-Digg exodus Reddit, or slashdot in its heyday. Hacker news scratched that itch for a while, some instances here seem close if not quite the same.
Lots more “check out this thing I made!”
I was wondering what this was, maybe to do with my use of ad-blocking ?
The speculation I saw was that it’s just Firefox in general. Folks were saying turning off ad blocking didn’t help.
I tried in Firefox and duckduck go. Both blocked.
I’m not getting the same error anymore, but the site still seems fucked up. At one point it loaded the desktop version of the old reddit format for no apparent reason on Firefox mobile.
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
I’m not sure about Comcast but on Spectrum you can simply restart the modem to receive new IPv4, IPv6 addresses.
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
Edit: ah I see it was Zelda totk and a specific character. If you have time I’d love to see a post with your explination. Not got a switch myself and don’t love pirating good games so it’s a no play for me
