I'm unable to access reddit via browser when using VPN. I see an error message both on regular 'reddit.com', as well as 'old.reddit.com' subdomain.
This is new develompent. They started blocking VPN access on their regular website three months ago[1], but back then 'old' subdomain still worked; today it no longer does.
I'm testing with desktop Safari and NordVPN from EU; curious if others are seeing similar results.

Reddit is now a public company with a CEO that just got a huge compensation package while mods still work for free. Far from lawless, far from being a wasteland.
Even the hacker community is still using reddit despite everything that's happened. This probably means that it hasn't lost any of its value.
Blocked VPN access or not, reddit already won.
