Have you tried it? Every new account will be shadowbanned and if it's shared you often get blank page 429. None of this was true before the API shutdown.

That’s not my experience, using various VPNs, public networks, Cloudflare and Apple private relays. A captcha is common when logged out but that’s about it, I have not encountered any shadow bans. I create a new account each week.

That's not the same as "blocks all data to non-residential IP's"?

>if it's shared you often get blank page 429. None of this was true before the API shutdown.

See my other comment. I agree there's a non-zero amount of VPNs that are banned from reddit, but it's also not particularly hard to find a VPN that's not banned on reddit.

[piskov]

Yes you do.

Private VPS for personal VPN in Netherlands (digital ocean), then Hungary (some small local DC) — both are blocked from day one.

Proton VPN sometimes (mostly?) has this issue too. It's a bit of an hit or miss in there iirc but I have definitely seen the last message of your comment.

Sounds like you just need to sign in or use the api?

Try browsing from any Mullvad vpn. You will be "blocked by network security"

[edoceo]

I use mullvad regularly & visit reddit from that connection - it works. But! You have to sign-in.

[gruez]

That's just mullvad's IP pool being banned. The other VPN providers I use aren't banned, or at least are only intermittently banned that I can easily switch to another server.

... if you're logged out. Log in so they don't have to lump you in with every scraper you're sharing a subnet with.

I have never interacted with a reddit employee who wasn't actively gaslighting me about the platform. Do you even use the site? I talked to a PM recently who genuinely thought the phone app was something people liked.

They probably get paid by how many people believe their nonsense.

[MBCook]

There are people who actively like it.

I don’t. But they 100% exist.

[leftouterjoins]

everything on Reddit is so locked down it’s useless. even if you do get to post something useful some basement dwelling mod will block it for an arcane interpretation of one of the subreddits 14 rules.

Have you tried using it logged out on a vpn? It is impossible.

there are several times where I've had to disable PIA to access reddit's login page
