At this point, I’m not even going to bother trying to go on there anymore.

    Then Reddit’s notice should say that instead of scolding sbout VPNs. This problem is not simply with Reddit and a login, it is pervasive. Hell, even lemmy.world blocks vpn connections from making new comments, often.

      Lemmy.world handles that particularly poorly, probably because they’re a nonprofit with a shoestring budget.

      The most obvious improvement would be to accept comments when the account meets a certain age and activity threshold.

      It-… Uhh… It does say that. It’s literally the second sentence in the body of the notice, and even has a link to create an account. Did you even read past the title?

          It doesn’t actually mention VPNs at all. It simply says you were blocked due to a network policy, and offers potential solutions ranging from “try logging in” to “if you’re doing fucky things with your user agent, maybe try not doing fucky things with your user agent.”

            Wtf do you think “network policy” is about when it comes up when using fucking VPNs? It is entirely about VPN use.

              Your point was that it’s scolding users for using a VPN. It’s explicitly not doing that. Yes, they’re actively working against VPN usage, but your original statement was still incorrect.
