    Like I said, it’s only as vpn friendly as the instance admin wants it to be. It’s not the platform that’s vpn averse, it’s the person/people running it. The admin may or may not have a legit reason for blocking VPNs. Who knows, maybe the instance is being attacked so they temporarily blocked VPNs.

    If it’s your home instance that’s doing it, then you should consider moving to another instance that aligns more to your values.

    Remember that lemmy is not one monolithic structure. User experience will vary from instance to instance. If your instance or an instance you’re visiting is blocking you when on vpn, it’s that instance’s admins who decided to do that. It would be better to ask in their support or meta community.







  • Take the comment you replied to with a grain of salt. IOS and Android are not rolling release unless you use their beta versions, so the analogy is not correct. Ubuntu and its derivatives have slower release cycles in order to ensure they’re stable. But it doesn’t mean packages are “stale”. A rolling release distro will give you bleeding edge updates at the risk of something breaking once in a while. If you work on stuff like music production, you absolutely will be better off with a more stable distro.
