Started to get this message when accessing Reddit. I use LibreWolf as a browser, which does indeed provide a more generic user agent to combat fingerprinting, but nothing out of the ordinary either (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/119.0). Anyone else experiencing this?

Edit: seems to have resolved itself. Thanks for confirming I wasn't doing anything wrong. Let's hope this isn't some new algorithm to test if for insufficient fingerprinting so Reddit can kick ad-resistant users.

Reddit is corrupt. It probably has something to do with them wanting to track you, and they can't track you if you have a blank user agent.

Stay here at Lemmy where humans are respected as humans instead of data mines. Life is more dignified here at Lemmy.

That's all well and good but now that the smoke cleared it's a Twitter/Mastodon situation

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 22 points 7 months ago

Yeah. You're not wrong.

Ever since I discovered I can have infinite conversations with infinite people about infinite topics, I am addicted to this format.

Now see how they exploit us 😡

I'm my golden socialist utopia online platforms would flourish freely with each new conversation.

I don't quite understand what you mean. I know Twitter has kind of gone to hell, but beyond that I'm not sure.

I think his point was that most conversations happen where people are, and people are still more on Twitter than Mastodon by multiple orders of magnitude even after the "exodus".

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
