Maybe an useragent will solve that?

https://mewe.com/ works for me.

No, looks like they screwed us over.

Not only does it forward you to the "modern browser" page, it will also log you out and invalidate your session in one go.

Judging by the pre-redirect look which looks very much like your typical Google framework placeholder thing, it's most likely wanting to use Google WebComponents. In which case we can't do anything about it.

I didn't log in (don't have an account), I thought the problem occurs also on the home page.

Why is there an 'App' on the Home Page when the browser does not even support MeWe? Does this make any sense, whatsoever, Pale Moon?

You mean when MeWe has stopped being accessible? It was a recent change on their end - doesn't look like this will be addressed by them so you can expect the shortcut to be removed soon from the portal. i have to say I'm very disappointed in MeWe for going this route when they were overall good and lightweight and super-compatible with a wide range of browsers until now. :cry:

FYI... I keep thinking I should use MeWe more (just because) and just tried on my Linux (Devuan) laptop and sure enough in the middle of loading the page, seemingly correctly, I got redirected... Chromium was fine... I copied my exact Chromium user agent as an override for mewe.com ... it loaded fine...

For ref

This override works great :thumbup:

Maybe it can be added in the next release.

I've added it to the dynamic updates for now which should have a refresh within a day.

EDIT: if dynamic updates actually works, that is. It doesn't seem to o.O

Now it works without to change User Agent.
Maybe they had problems some days ago.

No, they are still blocking.
But, I've added a dynamic UA update so it will work without manually adding one yourself.

Hello. I am just reporting that that user agent override works for me too. I can now look at MeWe for the first time in at least a month.

It makes this forum look good that no one here has hijacked the thread to rant about the content and user base of MeWe.

Honestly, I'd rather it not grace this forum at all, if I have a choice. No point in being a channel for yet another attack against alt services no matter how their business is perceived.
