This app gets suggested as reddit/discord alternative that's privacy-conscious but like wtf it says I've been blocked ever since I got it. It's probably because I'm in a conservative 3rd world country but wtf?

Can't use VPNs to bypass it either. Anyone who's used it, is there a workaround, or do I just have to ditch the app?

CounterSocial blocks entire IP ranges and most VPN/datacenter networks as part of its anti-abuse policy. It’s not really decentralised, so if you’re blocked at the network level there’s usually no workaround unless they manually allow you.
