Yes, same here. Let's just QUIT using Reddit. Enough is enough. If we tolerate corrupt behavior, we support corrupt behavior. And quite honestly, it's become such a pile of trash, anyway.

That's a real shame, because otherwise it looks like great software. I've got an offline instance sitting on AWS since last summer just waiting for any bit of progress, but gave up hope some time ago.
So, going forwards—where should someone who lives in a repressive country go, to read and interact with Westerners? Now, practically every social website (*except HN) blocks you if you use a VPN, and you go to prison if you don't. You're twice-walled in.

I tried moving to Lemmy, but turns out that the only people there are other techies who are mostly interested in techie topics (and I already have HN for that).
If you want a broader perspective or you want to discuss non-techie topics, Reddit is still the place to be, for better or worse.

If Lemmy had an automod I'd happily try to move the niche communities I help mod over, but without even the basics (regex rules + mod queue) attempting to mod any sizeable community is ime an exercise in frustration, making Lemmy essentially useless for us.

FWIW I too am unable to access reddit using my home (residential) IP. I've never had an account there, so I have no idea why they would block my IP. I also haven't scraped anything, ever. Previously I could access old.reddit.com, but now that's blocked too. I also can't create an account -- I get "403 forbidden", even if I specify an email address and clear my cookies. I even created a support ticket about this a few…
