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.

    Reddit is corrupt. It probably has something to do with them wanting to track you, and they can’t track you if you have a blank user agent.

    Stay here at Lemmy where humans are respected as humans instead of data mines. Life is more dignified here at Lemmy.

      I saw a post a few days ago where one Lemmy user threatened to triangulate another user via IP, and then hurt them, because they said Linux doesn’t work out of the box as well as windows in their experience.

      This was on a main instance. The person didn’t get in any trouble.

        Yeah, Lemmy is full of shit heads and mods/admins rarely care. You can also see plenty of misogyny, non stop verbal abuse, etc. Lemmy is basically a playground for 13 year olds with development difficulties.

          I’m just going to highlight these two sentences, and ask you think really really hard about why this comment has more downvotes than upvotes.
