Reddit is blocking users based on user agents?

Started to get this message when accessing Reddit. I use LibreWolf as a browser, which does indeed provide a more generic user agent to combat fingerprinting, but nothing out of the ordinary either (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/119.0). Anyone else experiencing this?

Edit: seems to have resolved itself. Thanks for confirming I wasn't doing anything wrong. Let's hope this isn't some new algorithm to test if for insufficient fingerprinting so Reddit can kick ad-resistant users.

Yeah, Lemmy is full of shit heads and mods/admins rarely care. You can also see plenty of misogyny, non stop verbal abuse, etc. Lemmy is basically a playground for 13 year olds with development difficulties.

I'm just going to highlight these two sentences, and ask you think really really hard about why this comment has more downvotes than upvotes.

Maybe they think that saying "development difficulties" means it isn't verbally abusive? lol
