Started to get this message when accessing Reddit. I use LibreWolf as a browser, which does indeed provide a more generic user agent to combat fingerprinting, but nothing out of the ordinary either (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/119.0). Anyone else experiencing this?

Edit: seems to have resolved itself. Thanks for confirming I wasn’t doing anything wrong. Let’s hope this isn’t some new algorithm to test if for insufficient fingerprinting so Reddit can kick ad-resistant users.

    That’s all well and good but now that the smoke cleared it’s a Twitter/Mastodon situation

      Yeah. You’re not wrong.

      Ever since I discovered I can have infinite conversations with infinite people about infinite topics, I am addicted to this format.

      Now see how they exploit us 😡

        I’m my golden socialist utopia online platforms would flourish freely with each new conversation.

      I don’t quite understand what you mean. I know Twitter has kind of gone to hell, but beyond that I’m not sure.

        I think his point was that most conversations happen where people are, and people are still more on Twitter than Mastodon by multiple orders of magnitude even after the “exodus”.
