I can’t even view the website anymore. It gives me this. Does the same thing from my home PC and my work PC.
It’s a massive pain in the ass because when I google search for information, half the results are from reddit. Those results are all useless now. I can’t see the information.
Fuck that place. Fuck the shit-eating motherfuckers who are running it into the ground. I’m so tired of self-entitled elitism. Someone needs to tell these fuckers that they’re not better than anyone else and just because they don’t like someone’s opinion that’s not a good reason to exclude them, silence them, and isolate them. WTF.
It’s disappointing, it’s been a nice part of your life. Lemmy honestly is better though it’s less dramatic, fewer bots and higher quality content
I’ve found that using RedLib instances through LibRedirect is very slick for accessing Reddit results from search engines.
Welcome to lemmy!
Are you using a VPN?
Nope. my browser can use a VPN, but it’s off unless I turn it on.
That image has your IP in it.
Too late, I have hacked op’s IP address, taken out several loans, and am now using his IP address to commit violent crimes.
Same. I’m downloading a car right now.
As others have said, that’s not the “banned” message. That’s some overzealous automatic thing they’ve put in that seems to try and stop excessive traffic all coming from the same source. When it works “right” it mainly just pops up to stop people on VPNs (lots of traffic from a relatively small set of IP addresses).
It’s stupid as hell, and just more poor decisions stemming from their attempts to prevent scraping by AI, but it’s not a ban.
