That’s it, I get an error message whenever I try to post or comment if I’m connected to my VPN, butnot trouble if I just get disconnected. Does not fit the idea of decentralized social media I had, but overall I’m mainly curious as to the reason why it is so.

    It might depend on the lemmy instance you are posting to (lemmy.ml) and/or where you have your account (lemmy.world), because I don’t think that this is built into the AP protocol.

    I suspect at least one of these uses some kind of filtering mechanism that blocks VPN users, like cloudflare’s CDN.
