I just wanted to peek at the front page. I guess they don’t want people to use their shit anymore. I’m starting to believe in the dead internet theory.

    Lol yeah I can’t get on it at work anymore. Goodbye to all the traffic they get from people looking for tech advice on corporate networks. Fucking morons.

      i’ve never had an office job but it’s extremely obnoxious they seem to regularly filter the internet like you’re in school. there were so so many important resources (including youtube) which had legitimate educational and technical value they’d take away as some bullshit austerity ritual

        That isn’t the issue here. I agree with you, but in this case the filter is on Reddit’s side. It is common and justifiable for corporate machines to use a vpn. Sometimes public traffic doesn’t go through, but not always.
