lmao why did Reddit block me? I went to Reddit and says this.

You've been blocked by network security.
If you think you've been blocked by mistake, file a ticket below and we'll look into it.

I didn't do anything? Anyone ever gotten this lol

This usually happens when Reddit detects something unusual about your browser or IP address. It's almost always the IP that triggers it, but it can also be caused by a combination of your IP and browser fingerprint. It does not affect your accounts, and using a fresh IP will usually resolve the issue.

Did you do anything bad on Reddit from any account? That’s all I can think of.

This is not related to account actions. It is just from IP or browser fingerprints.
