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.

    Stay here at Lemmy where humans are respected as humans

    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.

      Was it a shit post? Don’t mistake me as being dismissive of threats, it’s just that “triangulate based on IP” sounds like a joke.

        No, unfortunately. The guy seemed really mad. Calling the other guy a moron, idiot, and telling him to apologise. From what I could see from the comments, it seems like the one guy visited the angry guys website, and the guy threatened to use his IP to find out where he lived. Then used threats about how it’s nice to sleep at night without fear, and that if you piss the wrong people off you’ll know.

        All because the guy was having Linux issues and said windows worked better for them. I only found the thread because I’m also having the same issues lol.

          The mad guy sounds tech illiterate anyway. Nowadays you can’t track people by IP anymore. Sure you get a city, maybe a city district and then what?

          To prove my point, here’s where my IP (Without VPN) will tell you where I live: Berlin. I live on the other side of the country compared to Berlin.

          These scriptkiddies are so pathetic .

      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.

          Maybe they think that saying “development difficulties” means it isn’t verbally abusive? lol

        Damn. Lemmy is hella doomed when a response to an insane thing someone else did on Lemmy is “who the fuck cares?”.

        Didn’t realize you support people threatening others based on a comment about an operating system.

                For someone who doesn’t care, you sure can’t shut up about it.

                Look how little I care guys. Hey you. Yeah, you. Did you know I don’t care? Totally don’t, 110%. Make sure to tell your friends how few fucks I give about all of this.

                Why am I still talking about it? Clearly because I care so little. I learned early on that the more you talk about something, the less you care. My utter inability to stop talking about it is the supreme sign of my achieving the pinnacle of carelessness.
