I can’t even view the website anymore. It gives me this. Does the same thing from my home PC and my work PC.
It’s a massive pain in the ass because when I google search for information, half the results are from reddit. Those results are all useless now. I can’t see the information.
Fuck that place. Fuck the shit-eating motherfuckers who are running it into the ground. I’m so tired of self-entitled elitism. Someone needs to tell these fuckers that they’re not better than anyone else and just because they don’t like someone’s opinion that’s not a good reason to exclude them, silence them, and isolate them. WTF.
As others have said, that’s not the “banned” message. That’s some overzealous automatic thing they’ve put in that seems to try and stop excessive traffic all coming from the same source. When it works “right” it mainly just pops up to stop people on VPNs (lots of traffic from a relatively small set of IP addresses).
It’s stupid as hell, and just more poor decisions stemming from their attempts to prevent scraping by AI, but it’s not a ban.
