I just found a Firefox extension that let's you open these blocked pages in archive. Pretty excited to bypass the bs of VPN blocks

I get this too from time to time and usually refreshing my VPN fixes it. This is a bug of somekind.

[–] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I get the same screen anytime I use any VPN server.

When google started to index paywalled things.... I thought that was pretty evil. Showing google content but not normal internet users. Giving sites the ability to have their cake and eat it too.

When reddit decided to force logging in to see some subreddits on mobile, I decided they were evil.

This is why I'm on Lemmy posting content, we have to use open platforms if we want them to succeed. This is the first time I've used social media. I'm doing it as a civic duty

When google started to index paywalled things…

Google has (had?) a rule. If a site lets them index their paywalled content, then the site must deliver the full content if the referrer is google.com or else they will de-index the site. So when clicking a link on google, the full article should appear. It was an old trick to just google the article title to find a link and click through to read a paywalled article.

Is that policy gone now?

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

as far as i can tell that policy never existed. The first instance of this was for academic articles being indexed behind a paywall, and they NEVER worked with the referrer being google.

[–] hayes_@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It kind of existed when Google included a link to every site’s cached content, but they removed that years ago.

This, primarily, is the reason I am paying for Kagi. It allows you to hide shit sites, AKA reddit from search results.

It did not used to be this way. Every website result used to be "cached", but not anymore...

Enshittification 😔

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 month ago

I love how every website leans on JavaScript as a crutch.

Wait. No I don't.

Happens to me all the time on a VPN.

It isn't every IP. I just change tunnels.

safereddit.com baby!

There's a firefox plugin that can translate to free frontend links and you could do that as well through pihole.

[–] DoctorWhookah@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Can’t believe I forgot about this. Lurking is so much better from there.

Kinda like when google news shows links to paywalled articles.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yes, that's exactly how I feel.

What does the search engine have to do with your reddit account/vpn?

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

they're showing the links, but you can't access them.

It is the fault of the site being dicks, but the search engines make the problem more annoying
