As a follow up to my first post, it seems Reddit is now further denying Tor users from using the site.
I made a new account a week ago over Tor, using a disposable email service (which may have raised the flag). I made three posts on separate, popular subreddits. None of the posts showed up.
What’s further now, is that I messaged mods to get approved, but I never got a reply… It makes me think Reddit is now outright blocking any attempts at communicating on the site, whether to people directly or subreddits.
Finally, after logging in again later, Reddit blocked my account and forced me to reset the account password to continue using the account. I could login through without needing a forced reset.
It should be mentioned that from my research, older accounts I have made through Tor don’t seem to get the same flagging.
Thus, your options now truly seem to use non-blacklisted VPNs, or go plain home IP; alternatively, focus your energy improving and contributing to Lemmy and other services like lobste.rs, the Fediverse, or your own websites and forums!
if you need/want to browse reddit for some reason you can use teddit or libreddit. both have no javascript or ads and make all requests through the backend. libreddit also has active onion instances.
This is a good recommendation. I used teddit a lot but libreddit is new to me :)
There’s also the Redirector extension to redirect based on regex patterns and I think I had a user script for redirection usable in Violentmonkey. If I find it again, I’ll post it here.
Gold!
