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.
Between this, the AI moderation banning a shitton of users, and the shadow-banning (sort of) of larger subreddits will naturally push more people to the fediverse. I’ve seen a significant uptick in conversations about Lemmy in the few subreddits I still keep tabs on.
Now that it’s open knowledge that Reddit is limiting who sees left-leaning subreddits, even more people will start to look for alternatives.
