Browsing reddit while using a VPN is verboten.

Good grief I despise that smug, winking snoo with a effing fedora that goes along with the error page.

I could’ve written a Tailscale App Connector to route it through the home connection, but I ended up blocking their domains outright and writing some CSS rules to hide Reddit from SearXNG results. It’s better than that annoying page.

Untraceable visitors are worth nothing. From a cynical point of view, better off without them.

A lot of reddit’s most popular content is stuff like TrueOffMyChest from throwaway accounts. Robust privacy protection would result in more of those posts, and more traffic overall, but reddit doesn’t care about making the site work, they’ve dedicated themselves to milking the individual users for all they’re worth. It’s a bit like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Because look, now we’re all here, generating content on a competing platform
