And with them putting old Reddit behind a login, they’re just losing traffic.
They’re going to start getting really desperate to mine data and drive advertising dollars soon.
they just try to pretend like facebook, Fake engagement by significant amount of bots, which are likely going to be propaganda anyways. Also thier purges last year, probably was the final blow anyways, get rid of actual users, in favor of fake botting, propaganda, and spammers.
Fediverse needs that. There’s just not enough people to attain the one cool thing about reddit, that was having a couple people create communities around basically any niche hobby you could think of.
Only very generic topics or ultra-popular stuff get some traction, and in many cases it’s barely a blip.

Is it regional or for VPN users or something? I still use old reddit when I need to from search results, and I don’t get asked to log in.
It seems to be rolling out region by region I reckon. I’m in the south east Asia and I don’t get asked to log in yet.
I get asked to login to old.reddit if I set my VPN to USA, but not for the European countries I’ve tested.
Sounds like we should get this place ready for another wave of people

The wave has started. I just moved from there to here, after they enforced ID checks and require email or phone number.
