      To be fair, as the biggest instance, .world deals with the most bots and spam of any instance. Not surprising whatever countermeasures they’ve implemented also involve blocking some VPN-associated addresses; they’ve probably been used by bots before and were blocked due to having been abused, not specifically because they’re associated with a VPN.

    I got the same error yesterday. I thought it was from posting that bill gates said he met epstein in 2013 under a post that has him speaking about his relationship but had somehow edited out the part where he mentioned that he met the creep 5 years after his conviction

    Yea, I suddenly started getting that too.

    Reddit has seriously gone to shit lately, but it’s got a few communities that aren’t present here. Or if they are, I haven’t found them.

    Don’t ask.

    I got this all yesterday too. I thought it was because I told the moderators of r/pics to go fuck themselves.

    On a picture of Greenland, I made a comment about how drumpf wants it because after 30-40 more years of climate change, Greenland will be great farmland. So instead of acting to combat climate change, him and his gang of pedophile rapists are attempting to cash in on it.

    R/pics moderator removed the comment, and said if I wanted to use r/pics again, I had to reply with a carefully worded apology message to them. I did it, so I could message again, and then told them to go fuck themselves. Now I’m banned from r/pics. OH WELL.

      I just got perma banned from a sub for saying Tim Walz was a spineless fuck for stepping down. This was in a political sub. Apparently we can’t be having opinions anymore that aren’t sucking politician dick relentlessly. I messaged them to retort, and they just said something along the lines of we don’t need this kind of rhetoric in the sub. When I replied, saying I just gave my opinion on the actions of a public figure, they muted me.

      This message has nothing to do with mods or your comments. Reddit would never give mods this kind of power. It happened to me too, and it has nothing to do with comments. Something was just broken on the Reddit back end. It was happening on every thread for about an hour and a half.

    Got that once today, then it disappeared. Probably working out some kinks in whatever they’re trying to achieve, there.
