Going by comments in the post, the required login is coming in waves, so not all people may notice immediately.

Still, as Reddit is strong-arming its way across, maybe worth signaling to people there that the fediverse may be used without an account, so long as there's even one instance that implements logged-out view as the protocol allows it?

I don't have access to my account any longer, possibly VPN ban, though I never tried to recover it so I can only guess why mine is lost, else I'd post myself.

im never going back to ad supported algorithmic brainwashing. decentralized open source, or nothing for me

Yes, I was burned too many times. First Digg, than Reddit. That's already one too many.

Digg came and went so fast it was weird. Usually I'd expect administration to wait a little while longer before deciding it's not worth it.

Me neither. But god damn if I just want a thriving community where I can get lost in threads on subtopics of topics that I’ve never heard of in my life.

You gotta share links to people, that's how it spreads. They open it once wtf website is this? Oh that's fediverse, what? Dont worry about it. But you send them a couple more memes from here, and then they finally wanna comment on something and they make an account.
