Any well-established Lemmy instances that publicly allow posting from VPNs?

Basically the subject is in title. I recently discovered lemmy.world doesn’t allow commenting/posting from VPNs. Some VPNs are working, but it seems to be a matter of time until they appear on publicly sourced lists and banned.

Yes, this is response payload it gives when hitting “Reply” or “Post” from certain VPNs:

{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": 403,
    "message": "Posting & Uploading blocked from VPN/Tor"
  }
}

So VPNs and Tor… how interesting… do they block I2P too?

i2p doesn’t really have exit nodes, it’s mostly for i2p internal connections.
The only exit I know is stormycloud.i2p, and that one is somehow immensely limited ro the point of it being hard to load clear-net text pages.

Wow, that’s quite something. Hopefully a temporary thing due to spam issues or so…
