I still hate the fact that the same people who said that no one is going to adopt a whole new social network in regards to mastodon suddenly changed their minds when the zuck made a worse version of it.
Wouldn’t this block VPN access from anywhere, not just EU?
ok so people want to access treads and will a vpn to do so
Is it possible for other apps or sites to block VPN access in this way? I was under the impression (possibly incorrectly) that using one would help to avoid such issues.
BBC iPlayer does this all the time
How does that work? IF (VPN detected) THEN (fail)? Do apps even have access to that information?
Or maybe they have mandatory geolocation, compare that with IP location and if it doesn’t match (=VPN), then refuse to work?
As someone who doesn’t use threads, how does it stand up to something like Lemmy or Reddit? I doubt it’s worth using a VPN to use Threads, but that’s just my assumption.
About as well as Twitter does. It’s literally a Twitter clone. Not really good for micro blogging.
