First time I’ve seen this sitting behind my shitty VPN. If the frontpage /r/normaldayinrussia posts didn’t make you raise an eyebrow knowing their denying access to people for running a VPN should at least make you second guess.
Get out now, save yourself.
But they forcefully redirect images to www.redit.com now, and you need to manually wget images if you want the biggest version, logged-in, VPN, or not.
The enshittification will continue until morale improves.
Whoa there pardner, you don’t sound like a happy Snoo!™
