Try starting vim without config, I think that’s

vim -u NONE

Does it still occur then?

If not, it’s a config issue in /etc/vimrc and/or ~/.vimrc (or maybe ~/.config/vim/vimrc or something?)

If it does, it has to be something else.

Oh yeah, hahaha.

Thanks, I’ll fix it.

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.
