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.
I think bots are inevitable here as well. I think the only thing that keeps them away is how small Lemmy is.
If Lemmy ever became worth anything i dont know how they could effectively counter bots in the age of AI.
