Reddit is blocking VPN users from its site

Reddit has been blocking users who are using VPNs from its site unless they log into their Reddit accounts. Why is that? And what to do?

You cannot access reddit without either an account, or turning off your VPN. Effectively meaning that it’s difficult to access reddit privately, as they can either track you with IP or with account.

Even alternative frontends like RDX for reddit by @overdevs@lemmy.world don’t solve this issue.

I can’t believe more people haven’t left because of that.

    It seems to depend. If I have my location set to within the US, I can usually access the top level post without a problem, but I can’t see any comments. If I set location to Europe—usually Switzerland, since they have good privacy laws–then I can’t access the site at all. If I set it to old.reddit.com with location set to the US, I can see comments, except for anything that’s been labelled as NSFW; those require me to log in.
