[–] kbal@fedia.io 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) I suspect the VPN was used to bot There are plenty of sources, including even in this thread, indicating that that this is not the problem. Quit making excuses for them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Peffse@lemmy.world -4 points 2 years ago (1 child) uhhh... what? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kbal@fedia.io -2 points 2 years ago (1 child) It's not just you. I'm tired of the whole team of people who are always standing by to bring out similar excuses any time someone decides that in their quest to stop invidious from existing — or whatever google is actually aiming at — it's acceptable to just mass-block all the VPN users as collateral damage. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Peffse@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) It's not an excuse though. It's right there in the error message. Where are people getting the impression I think google is some kind of saint who can do no wrong? I don't even see the "proof" that is being used to say I'm coming to google's defense. Just a few anecdotal theories... just like I provided. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] kbal@fedia.io -6 points 2 years ago (1 child) Ah, so it's not you coming up with the stupid excuse that they have legit reasons to think the user might be a nefarious "bot", you're just passing along the stupid excuse as you interpret it from the meaningless message direct from Google. That explains where you got the idea that "viewbots" had anything to do with it, I guess. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Peffse@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yikes. I'm here for a civil discussion, so if you don't want to discuss this with me and instead just want to attack me because you think I'm on the opposing team... well, I guess that's what the block list is for. I wish you luck in life. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kbal@fedia.io 0 points 2 years ago This helps protect our community. permalink fedilink source parent
