Honestly, in this day and age I consider VPN a basic internet hygiene. There are many many reasons to not trust your ISP and the wire between your home and ISP. You have moderation here, why do you even need to block VPN? I registered this account from VPN, but I somehow cannot comment from VPN? Doesn’t make much sense. I’m using paid Proton VPN servers, and btw I’ve seen Proton having a dedicated community here on this platform.
Host your own and accept the liability of what users post on vpns yourself and then you can use any VPN you want. Until then, admins like me are on the hook for whatever crazy stuff our users post, and I really don’t like feds busting down my door
But you have moderation. If you delete any illegal stuff and ban the user, you’re clear, even if you’re from France.
IIRC the decision was to ban certain VPN IPs based on a csam attack last year (-ish), and it was the easiest decision they could make. And since they are all volunteers (and they are the admins), there is no telling them different.
It is what it is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah try telling that to the feds why you’re accidentally hosting CSAM. I didn’t think I would be a registered reporter with the FBI but here I fucking am
Horrid take
Idk man, try it out and let us know how it goes.
