News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Started to get this message when accessing Reddit. I use LibreWolf as a browser, which does indeed provide a more generic user agent to combat fingerprinting, but nothing out of the ordinary either (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/119.0). Anyone else experiencing this?

Edit: seems to have resolved itself. Thanks for confirming I wasn't doing anything wrong. Let's hope this isn't some new algorithm to test if for insufficient fingerprinting so Reddit can kick ad-resistant users.

I'm getting that message too, I've tried on Firefox, chrome, with and without VPN. I think it's something wrong with the site?

Edit: seems to work again now

I bet it's a glitch, all of my browsers are blocked on home Internet and on cell data.

I get this error in the Firefox Developer Edition, can't acces it from mobile Chrome either...

Edit: Seems to work again

Reddit does a lot to try to track alts, and it still fails. It's probably impossible to have anything that sophisticated in the fediverse.

All of my alts or any new account are instanta banned because I pissed off the AITA mods by creating an alt AITA_mods_are_all_incels.

It's fucked for me too. As much spicy intrigue is generated by thinking this is nefarious, I think some dumb shit just fucked something up and broke the site

I’m getting this as well. Mobile Safari on iOS 17.

[–] dipshit@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Time to become the Mozilla you wish to be in this world.

[–] Morningcoffee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm getting the same message on mobile Firefox browser

I've got Hermit setup for /r/CombatFootage and it's still loading fine.

I've got a custom user agent ('mobile') and I block everything that I can.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

I would strongly discourage changing your user agent to anything no standard. Doing that makes you extremely easy to spot in a data set
