As of a few minutes ago old.reddit.com now seems to requre logging in to access it.

Shame as it was still the best place to browse for info about some niche interests.

Edit: Seems like they might be testing the change as it is hit or miss at the moment.

Edit: Adding this to My flilters in uBlock Origin seems to fix the issue for the time being:

I criticized ICE, and about 12 hours later I was met with a "Blocked by network security" page. The only option was to appeal to support, who wanted an explanation. I could still access my user settings so I went straight to the account deletion option.

I got banned for saying something about Musk during the height of the DOGE circus. I don't know what I said exactly because they delete the comment and then ban you.

I think I said I'd like to see him test his rocket and go to Mars. Which, I guess implies,.. something.
