I noticed today, having searched about TOR nodes possibly being run by government departments in a browser, I got this message, " Your request has been blocked by network security. Please try to login with your Reddit account. " I didn’t login in the app!

Haven’t come across that before. Has anyone else seen i?

    Yep, was happening to me all day in Australia (residential internet)… I guess there is no need to ever visit reddit again

        I don’t wonder. by the time I left there were more barriers to entry for humans than for bots. more newly created or newly active accounts speaking word salad than not. and the moderator help subs were alive every day with somebody asking how to deal with it.

          They’ll have a nice snapshot of data up until about 2021 and then it’ll just be garbage.
