At this point, I'm not even going to bother trying to go on there anymore.
How can they distinguish VPN users? I'm guessing it's a IP blocklist.

Lol it's simple just watch for a shit ton of traffic from single ip addresses.
They appear to also have blocklists independent of "shit ton of traffic." I have a VPN to my VPS (Oracle), which has a public IP (and I'm the only user). I also get whoa pardner'd when going through that VPN.
Perhaps I fall into the "we don't want other people scraping our site unless they pay" category though. I would make sense to just block off all VPS/cloud IP blocks (e.g., AWS, Azure, Oracle, Google Cloud...).

It’s been doing that for sometime now
Fuck Reddit.
And Reddit wants you to do that without protection.
old.reddit.com (and the .onion one) works in the Tor Browser, for me at least. I am not logged in

I probably check old Reddit once a month, and usually just to look up I use Redreader on Android. I barely use Reddit at all now, and it feels funny, considering I once used to nighttime scroll my multireddit feed for hours.
An obvious chipping away at old reddit. They are trying to get rid of it altogether.
I consider their new format to be unusable.
The hurensohn getting his own damn way with just about everything. 🤬🤬🤬
It is weird how many times I have to tell myself out loud "reddit is bad for me; close that tab!"
I am grateful that facebook/instagram requires a login. It means I never have to look at it even when I am feeling weak.
Same with The Atlantic, The NY Times, and the ~~Jeff Bezos Suck Billionaire Cock Machine~~ The Washington Post.
Thank you for keeping me from reading that trash, rich people.

I only go there on accident.
Errrr, I use bing and just click the cache button instead. I have to use a VPN for work and it's annoying to turn it off just to see one thing on reddit.
I used TOR with I2P as it's layer, still, the program automatically redirect me to old.reddit.com.
Use Redlib front end should be able to open reddit. Some instances don't work, but you there are many that work. I use this extension: https://github.com/libredirect/browser_extension

They've been doing this for ages. Some think it's just Old Reddit either.
