same as title, recently got a new pc and installed my vpn from my thumb drive so i wouldnt connect to the internet at all without a VPN and i notice on this pc my connection gets blocked every time i try to go to reddit, which isnt often with fosscad being removed.
I think the main intention here is to block the bots. Reddit blocks requests coming from certain IPs associated with VPS and similar commercial providers. VPN services often rent exit servers there. My connection is blocked when it goes through Tailscale exit node hosted on a VPS.
You can use Tor to browse Reddit anonymously, there is even a .onion address
