Completely, totally BANNED from reddit
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.
I've found that using RedLib instances through LibRedirect is very slick for accessing Reddit results from search engines.
edit the
wwwtooldit should work again, I got the same thing I think its some user agent stuff but I am not 100% sure.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.
You wouldn't do that, would you?
I'm downloading a house... and a hot boyfriend!!
I backtraced it and called the cyber police, you dun goofed
I uploaded a new pic without the IP.
Unfortunately, it's not that easy on the fediverse. My instance, kbin.earth, still has the original image, and I'm guessing mine's not the only one. Once something's published to the fediverse, there's no going back :)
I am doomed. DOOOMED!!!
Consequences will never be the same
Weird, I usually get that when my vpn is on, must be an IP ban, their skins so thin over there it's transparent.
Stay here for a while, we have our own fun dumb shit to annoy you, but it's still better than Reddit.
It's affecting everyone sporadically right now. I know you can't get on reddit, but there's a lot of complaints, it's supposedly not intentional according to admin comments.
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.
You goofed.
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 got this as well about a week ago but it started working again a short while later
