Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Absolutely no NSFL content.
- Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

How odd. I have never heard of
.worldfiltering based on VPN usage, although it's been some time since I used that instance regularly.I can read without issue but more often than not posting comments or indeed posts fails unless I pause for 5 mins.
E. This went through without disconnecting as an example. Can't figure out if threshold a pattern
maybe the particular server of the vpn haz problems? have your tried switching that around?
In my experience, many Lemmy instances block what looks like bot traffic. I don’t think it’s as simple as VPN = blocked, but that’s probably one of the signals they pay attention to. I’ve noticed most comments will fail to post when I’m using Mullvad.
Yeah its usually certain ip addreses that got abused and are now flagged
I’m totally guessing but I’m guessing it’s more similar to:
Block if risk of abuse exceeded X%
I have no idea what I’m talking about, but I can’t imagine these companies aren’t using some pretty advanced detection of bot traffic
