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 also prevents normal people from using Lemmy at all...

lemmy.world is NOT "Lemmy"

Hell, during the great reddit migration, if I recall correctly, lemmy.world had to cap sign-ups.

It is a massive portion of Lemmy. And it doesn't just stop people from signing up, it stops people from participating in any way.

You yourself aren't even using a lemmy.world account. Your take on the matter is backwards and bizarre.
