Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
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.
use redlib, it's a private frontend, here's a comment i made about it https://lemmy.world/comment/8577440
Can you guys stop talking about your ex ? You're with lemmy now, forget about the old bitch.
There is still content there. I find myself there often with a lot of web searches.
Fuck Reddit and their demogogue mods.
Oh, there's a fair amount if those here too.
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.
Changing the url to sh.reddit.com lets you get around it. Been using that when I've needed to look up a reddit thread at work.
Thank you
Anyone else find it ironic that the 'papers please' character wears a fedora?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

I suspect they're able to track a lot of they have your IP address.
While I do agree that this is bad, I'm a little confused—what does this have to do with dead internet theory? Doesn't that relate to users being bots?
That no one really uses reddit, that it's dominated by bots masquerading as real people.
I swear you can actually spot entire chains of comments consisting of only bots replying to other bots on every single submission that makes it to the front page. It's baffling how fast and hard reddit has fallen.
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.
That’s actually a deprecation warning. You’re meant to move to a more modern platform.
I'm already here.
We'll make something better.
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: [email protected]
