Today, for the first time on Lemmy, I received a message about posting being forbidden from VPNs.

    My guess is that the IP got flagged. In my personal experience, around 70% of VPN servers in California don’t let me post on Lemmy for some reason so I just avoid that area entirely at this point. Unfortunately, shitty people use VPNs to do shitty things too.

    I hit the same issue a couple weeks ago. I wonder if it’s tied to the Fediverse Chick thing or people who were spamming CSAM

    For me it works when I log out/log in while connected to the VPN. But sometimes when I’m at a different access point and my routing changes, it goes back to me not being able to comment.

    Not really an answer, but lassaiz-fair approach with VPN/Tor for a community like this is just a call for disaster.

    Can’t have nice things. Can’t really complain either imo. Thats’s just how the world is.
