Site blocks VPN users.
Many of us only like legitimate users, and therefore block VPNs.
Well, you can just give me a list of the domains you operate, and I can put them in the network blacklist.

#62I had some good fun writing non-gaming apps for the playdate console including a browser [1] and Kagi news mirror [2] and feel the device has great potential as an alternative to android/iOS duopoly [1]: https://github.com/remysucre/ORBIT [2]: https://github.com/remysucre/cranky-news
I had never heard of the Playdate but it looks like a very interesting device... and... I want it? Would you suggest getting one?
The games are quirky and too many use the crank, IMO. That said, if you want something a bit more unique than everything else it’s a fun toy.

I really like my playdate! Lots of indie games, and their Lua API is very good, coming from someone with no prior experience with Lua or games programming.

It’s basically “give me your IP address before you can continue so we can better data mine you”
Yeah, the community run TCRF wiki is banning VPNs just so they can mine your data along with the luxurious $400/mo they're getting from Patreon. And not because they're constantly being besieged by rampant bots that they have to resort to such drastic measures.
Funny it works for me while being on a vpns that gets blocked everywhere…

I don’t know anything about TCRF or what they do as their website blocks me. I do see trackers from multiple big corporations on tcrf.net. What bots are using Apple Private Relay?

uBlock Origin shows nothing out of the ordinary but Youtube, Google and Doubleclick, so Google, Google and Google, and I assume all of those are due to the embed.
If you mean the block page, yes, that's just the YouTube embed. You'll see the same results on any wiki page that has a YouTube embed for the same reason; it's not tracking or anything I have control over (other than outright not having YouTube embeds). But I think if anyone has concerns over that, they're better addressed at the local-user level by disabling all unauthorized iframes.
Maybe don’t do YouTube embed if it’s just a flickering logo. Use a GIF for that.
I’m not disabling my VPN if a website with multiple trackers asks me to.

What makes a VPN user inherently “illegitimate” in your view?
They're using a VPN.
I've never seen anyone using a VPN for anything other than disruptive behaviour. I had to block vast swathes of mobile broadband providers in a certain warlike Middle Eastern country because if I didn't I'd have anywhere from 100 to 1000 new users every single morning who'd all posted hate speech that won't post here for fear of triggering the right-wing apologists.
Now they just do that over VPNs, which makes keeping them out all the more difficult.
