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.

A million and one people said they'd leave Reddit if old. got shut down. Let's see if they come.

Well, I'm just one, but here I am. I left reddit a few days ago when they forced login for old. I'm having fun learning about lemmy and fediverse now.

Honestly it's been great because the login lock finally has broken my doom scrolling habit. Lemmy helps me keep a pulse on some of my interests without being a firehose of bs that was r/all. Mental health and sleep habits have been soaring lol

I didn’t leave I was asked not to come back

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I left and didn't go back.

You get banned there for saying trump rapes children, it's like the emperor has no clothes except instead of fake clothes, it's raping children. Fuck reddit dude.

Reddit bans you for not being a rightoid these days.

I've long suspected these companies were doing this, but now it's overt

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

they ban you for even looking at the site wrong. apparently they dont like "non organic behaviour" like comment too fast after account creation, old inactive accounts become active, or comment in subs(rare) that have some kind of requirement. you are also measured on a hidden thing called CQS score. other things is if your fingerprinting is off.

their AI moderation is terrible now, and it's ruining the website.

[–] AmyAye@nord.pub 4 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

They also ban you for suggesting Fascists need to fuck off. They tell you its "inciting violence."

Fuck Reddit. They caved to the fucking Nazis.

Bro they ARE the fucking nazis, ghislaine maxwell is literally a known supermod, the owners are trump funders.
