I love how search engines display inaccessible links.

At some point, the mistake was using Reddit to begin with.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago (4 children)

It was the only search result relevant to my query.

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does anyone else remember back in the early days of the internet when experts used to say, "The internet routes around problems".

I miss those early days.

To @daggermoon@lemmy.world , I see that a lot with searches now too but I just keep searching or find some other way around the problem. There's no way I click in to Reddit any more. You do you, but I'm saying there's always another option.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Honestly the internet will route around the loss of reddit just like it did with the loss of forums and other crowdsourced platforms that have died off over time. Yeah, we will lose a treasure trove of knowledge, but a lot of it was also outdated and the same questions will be asked again so the knowledge can be rebuilt.

It was the only search result relevant to my query.

Paste it into archive.org's Wayback Machine. Good odds that they've stored a copy. I'd do it for you and just link to the page, but you don't list the URL...

That’s the problem isn’t it? We used to have forums where people discus things and blogs where people share what they’ve learned, now it is all Reddit and discord and absolute trash in between.

This is not a Reddit problem. A lot of websites throw a fucking hissy fit if you have a VPN turned on, and I'm also over it.

STOP GOING TO REDDIT!!!!

I can't believe how often I have to say this.

[–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (3 children)

There are a few communities on Reddit that aren’t represented on here. So I still go to Reddit some.

I’m trying to convince people to check out Lemmy but it’s hard. People are so stuck in their ways. I’ll keep trying though

I've stopped casually browsing Reddit but sometimes it's the only way to get somewhat decent search results

How's the search engine supposed to know you're blocked from Reddit?

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good point, Reddit is the real problem.

When google started to index paywalled things.... I thought that was pretty evil. Showing google content but not normal internet users. Giving sites the ability to have their cake and eat it too.

When reddit decided to force logging in to see some subreddits on mobile, I decided they were evil.

This is why I'm on Lemmy posting content, we have to use open platforms if we want them to succeed. This is the first time I've used social media. I'm doing it as a civic duty

I read this as "we don't want you, the user, to interact with our 100% user-content driven website that depends on your presence to keep having value".

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 37 points 1 year ago

It did not used to be this way. Every website result used to be "cached", but not anymore...

Enshittification 😔

"shouldn't happen all the time on VPNs

Safety and privacy for companies, but not for users. Just because it is, doesn't mean it has to, or even should be.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It happens more often than not with Mullvad.

safereddit.com baby!

There's a firefox plugin that can translate to free frontend links and you could do that as well through pihole.

Me too. I wrote a blog post about it with a similar title and would love some feedback. I'm sure it could be expanded even more to include stuff like this.

I consider this more of a feature than a bug.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 year ago

I love how every website leans on JavaScript as a crutch.

Wait. No I don't.

Happens to me all the time on a VPN.

It isn't every IP. I just change tunnels.

Just putting this out there, if you use startpage you can use the anonymous view feature to get around this :) Obviously avoiding reddit is better but if it's the only available resource...

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

File a ticket!

[–] xektop@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That is an easy way to make less traffic from people that don't really care. When I see it, I close the page and look for the next result.

If you really need to know what is written there I guess you can Log in or use redlib or something like that.

At least they told you you're blocked, instead of just making random parts of it not work with zero communication

[–] tyrant@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I just found a Firefox extension that let's you open these blocked pages in archive. Pretty excited to bypass the bs of VPN blocks
