Use Opera, turn the built in VPN on and use a temporary email service to make a new account. It takes a while and you may go through a few accounts on the way. Avoid the subreddits you might've been blocked from. Lookup the list of bots that handle the blocking and block those too. Eventually you can change the email to your usual and you won't need to use Opera to access it. I added a counter to my username and added one to each new account. I'm blocked by IP on r/Australia. I'm still avoiding it for lentish and missing it less and less.
And we love having you here more even if it's just for lentish.
I'm probably not going going back as a regular thing. It's too much of a negative time sink for me. I've grown sus on their content algorithms too. I read recently on lemmy that hoping someone gets luigi'd is now a banable comment.
Packing my reading books, I read a lot of autobiographies, I find them endlessly interesting.
so just a taste of what i buy/read, the dam busters ( husband loves this one too, he was a ballistics scientist ) , Storm over the land, The end of the beginning, we were the rats ( of tobruk )
why old books, i like to see where we came from so I can have some understanding of where we are now
4 boxes packed today so far, 6 to go
Ok this is way too early. Sometimes I wish I could sleep in.
Finally found a Kodi plugin that works for EPL replays. Man, that VAR thing is a real drag....
