Today, for the first time on Lemmy, I received a message about posting being forbidden from VPNs.

    To those who didn’t click onward, the answer in that post is apparently 2 years (by implication of its post date)

    Ironically it also invalidates the top comment in this thread claiming they aren’t concerned with VPNs, just specific VPN IPs that have been abused in the past.

      It says its due to people posting illegal content. Also, if you see this, I’m running a VPN and it worked. VPNs are just other people’s IP addresses that massive amounts of folks use. 1 bad apple ruins the lot.
