Reddit is blocking VPN users from its site

Reddit has been blocking users who are using VPNs from its site unless they log into their Reddit accounts. Why is that? And what to do?

You cannot access reddit without either an account, or turning off your VPN. Effectively meaning that it’s difficult to access reddit privately, as they can either track you with IP or with account.

Even alternative frontends like RDX for reddit by @overdevs@lemmy.world don’t solve this issue.

I can’t believe more people haven’t left because of that.

      Without the services I mentioned it’s pretty hard to get around, and people use of on reddit uses those methods, and they pay, and it’s not 100%. I used to create new accounts at a university library computer, so they almost never catch on if one receives a subreddit ban. Their AI looks for posting pattern writing style as well, so they are looking at everything you do, not just IP.
