People getting sick and tide of Reddit. TBH I’m still salty over them killing 3rd party apps and I’m so glad they did because that drew the line for me, also fuck spez.

They've basically banned anonymous accounts. Their whole thing was anonymity.

They seem to be blocking access from certain IPs and VPNs (if not logged in?) Which is funny because some of these VPNs are not really hiding anything. Like my work VPN which I would think makes it pretty obvious which company I work for. Annoying when search results link to reddit content.

You can use this script with a browser addon like Tampermonkey to get around the sign-in requirement:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         reddit - unblock (create cookie and reload)
// @namespace    Violentmonkey Scripts
// @match        *://*.reddit.com/*
// @grant        none
// @version      2024-01-08
// @noframes
// @license      MIT License
// @description  for "Blocked" "whoa there, pardner!" cowboy bs
// ==/UserScript==
/* thanks: https://www.reddit.com/r/mullvadvpn/comments/18jbxb2 */
if (document.title === "Blocked") {
  document.cookie="reddit_session=;Domain=.reddit.com;Path=/;Expires=;Secure=true;SameSite=None";
  window.location.reload();
}

Why should the user have to fix reddit to make it functional?
