Wouldn’t want that malware on my machine. So sick of every online community default to the shithole that is Discord.

How do I get around this then? I still have to disable vpn to comment.

As far as I know my VPN doesn’t use Tor but I’m still blocked. It does keep me from commenting 99% of the time, which I’ve concluded is a good thing, it means I spend less time here, although it sometimes feels bad being a lurker.

Edit: I looked into it and Tor was enabled on that specific VPN profile. Now I can comment while on VPN, which means my only limiter is my own willpower, yikes

Not quite. I went here initially because I got permabanned on reddit. But I now realize reddit is a shithole so I like it here. I do wish there were more active niche communities and I really wish you could comment while on VPN, which you cant for some reason

A year or so ago I also got a permaban on my old reddit account. I never did find out the reason for it, as to my memory none was stated. But I immediately stopped using reddit and after a while started using lemmy when I realized there were better alternatives. Just now I tried to log in to my reddit account to check whether I missed the permaban reason, but now my account is simply “locked” and I need to change my password. The notification message is not the same as it was back then.
