![Goodbye [old].[reddit].[com]](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/80ed2450-6866-48e8-8b8e-863b50b850ff.jpeg){kind=link}
For a while Reddit dot com has been blocking my browser since I use a VPN, but old reddit was still functional for me. Although I closed my reddit account just after the API-exodus, I still frequent the niche communities which has hyper-specific topics discussed.
Found to my surprise today that they are now blocking old reddit as well if I use a VPN.
Never thought that [old].[reddit].[com] would one day show that f’kin “Whoa there Pardner” page.
Fuck you spez. Really, fuck you.
odd. old.reddit.com is still working for me.
If you are logged in and on a VPN it works, if you’re not logged in and on a VPN it doesn’t anymore. This started happening to me about 5 days ago as well.
Not logged in and using Mullvad, and it works fine.
Not logged in, still works for me.
Consider changing your ip/location.
Ditto, not logged in, incognito (so no cookies/history, I know it’s not actually incognito), VPN exiting in Canada. old.reddit working fine.
Could also be a staggered rollout thing? VPN/endpoint dependent while they gather data on endpoints?
