I love how search engines display inaccessible links.

The fedora tells you everything.
I wear a fez now. Fezzes are cool.
Me too. I wrote a blog post about it with a similar title and would love some feedback. I’m sure it could be expanded even more to include stuff like this.
Nice blog you have there. I appreciate the content and will be passing it around a bit.
Appreciate that. Got a backlog of 200+ topics I still need to write about, so little by little.
Yep, i get the same thing
Youtube also blocks me in a similar way.
For vpn use? Or what else?
Using a firefox fork browser and sometimes a vpn.
I get that from searches on ddg, no vpn.
RDX still works, it the only way I can search reddit now
At some point, the mistake was using Reddit to begin with.
It was the only search result relevant to my query.
Does anyone else remember back in the early days of the internet when experts used to say, “The internet routes around problems”.
I miss those early days.
To @[email protected] , I see that a lot with searches now too but I just keep searching or find some other way around the problem. There’s no way I click in to Reddit any more. You do you, but I’m saying there’s always another option.
Honestly the internet will route around the loss of reddit just like it did with the loss of forums and other crowdsourced platforms that have died off over time. Yeah, we will lose a treasure trove of knowledge, but a lot of it was also outdated and the same questions will be asked again so the knowledge can be rebuilt.
That’s the problem isn’t it? We used to have forums where people discus things and blogs where people share what they’ve learned, now it is all Reddit and discord and absolute trash in between.
We still have forums and blogs. Search engines just don’t both including them in search results.
You need to know about these niche communities, which are increasingly in micro-spaces like Discord or Mastodon channels or unmonitored communities like Lemmy.
Which is more in line with Bad Old Web 1.0 than Good Old Web 1.5
Discord is like gated communities on the internet. Not open to the public and not something that is publically indexed.
It isn’t even comparable to mastadon or lemmy when it comes to being a source of information.
They’re there, but harder to find. And some are closing. I’ve had two or three in the last couple years that closed, in the reasonably popular world of cars.
It was the only search result relevant to my query.
Paste it into archive.org’s Wayback Machine. Good odds that they’ve stored a copy. I’d do it for you and just link to the page, but you don’t list the URL…
M’lady
Kinda like when google news shows links to paywalled articles.
I always get that screen when I forget to turn off my VPN while accessing a reddit quote.
You should get a better VPN. Mine only gives me this rarely, often when I’m using a node that I can assume is where a bunch of prime would use to run bots.
I like Mullvad. Probably the only reason I get the error is there’s one country that’s a fav, but some sites don’t like it because of its privacy restrictions … which ofc is why it’s my fav.
Thankfully Redlib exists.
Thank you, I love you!
Happens to me all the time on a VPN.
It isn’t every IP. I just change tunnels.
I read this as “we don’t want you, the user, to interact with our 100% user-content driven website that depends on your presence to keep having value”.
Dogshit website anyway.
Sounds like a you problem
closes ticket
That happens on some VPNs
It happens all the time with me, I see it as a blessing.
"shouldn’t happen all the time on VPNs
Safety and privacy for companies, but not for users. Just because it is, doesn’t mean it has to, or even should be.
It happens more often than not with Mullvad.
I use Mullvad, and I have learned a bunch of server locations to use that haven’t been blocked yet
Yep. I too Mullvad
The issue with a VPN is that it’s likely that other people using the same exit node are doing something malicious. A site like reddit or a bank or whatever sees a lot of attacks coming from one IP (or a range of IPs) and mark it as malicious.
You’d likely do the same thing with your own site - something like Denyhosts or Crowdsec that blocks people trying to brute force a password will end up blocking anyone else using that same VPN exit IP.
Nobody is doing anything malicious. This didn’t start happening until reddit went public and decided to block their API.
What’s probably happening is they’re worried too many requests are coming from one ip address and you might be scraping their precious data to train your LLM.
If there was any justice their stock would be sliding further into the toilet because the first time anyone saw that notice they just quit going to the site entirely.
Nobody is doing anything malicious.
How do you know that though? VPNs are very commonly used to send spam, perform ransomware attacks, DDoS attacks, etc.
What’s probably happening is they’re worried too many requests are coming from one ip address and you might be scraping their precious data to train your LLM.
This is definitely also a possibility.
Spez deserves to be slapped
Spez deserves to be Luigi’d
Careful! That almost sounds like promoting violence, and that won’t fly with our advertisers! You have to say, uh, Spez deserves to be unalived.
How’s the search engine supposed to know you’re blocked from Reddit?
Good point, Reddit is the real problem.
“THE MACHINE KNOWS”
