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

    To clarify, you can still use old reddit logged in with a VPN, but they no longer allow you to browse logged out with a VPN. Still bad of course. But if you’re willing to log in you don’t have to turn off your VPN. You can sign up with a throwaway/obfuscated email if needs be

        Sadly, when researching problems or interests, often Redditposts have useful info.

            Not a solution, it gives error:

            Can’t load content! There can be multiple reasons for this, your browser’s aggresive privacy settings may be blocking the one call to reddit.com RDX makes. This happens usually when you use a VPM/Proxy and/or a privacy focused browser like Firefox. Play around with privacy/tracking options or change your browser. If it still doesn’t work click the feedback link and send me some info.

              This site works as an app it forces the browser to download content directly from reddit and doesn’t proxy it

              firefox blocks reddit thinking that these are trackers (technically, I think these are trackers, but which transmit content) the site works fine if you disable tracking protection in firefox

          Oh ya for sure. I deleted my account, and moved here never intending to look back. I have clicked on a couple reddit links since I left but I really try not too. Like I’d say 5 times maybe. In the end if I need info and that’s the only place…

        This is an oversimplification of the problem. Many times a search engine returns useful results inside reddit. You’re not going there because you love reddit as a platform, but because you need something that someone posted in there.
