The change is due to new age verification laws in the UK.

    It’s fine. Everyone should leave Reddit anyway. It’s all ads and bots now

    old.reddit.com still works for me. Not that I use those subs.

    Proton has free tier VPN if you are getting blocked.

        They might be able to identify specific known large VPN providers, but as a concept, you technically can’t just blanket block all “VPNs”.

    I wonder if this site would help, at least for a little. They mention tools to prevent the use of AI images at a later date. Or, you know, just stop using reddit and let it die. It used to be good. Used to.

    It’s probably quicker and easier to just use a VPN or tor.

    This is only going to stop old people looking at porn.

    A government shouldn’t enforce its citizens to give their private data to private companies. Bullocks.

    On the bright side, may reddit starve to death through regulation.

    How does that help verify age? I can take a selfie of the photo that comes with a frame for God’s sake
