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 got ip banned for basically nothing. Posted a silly comment about nothing, mod banned me, didn’t realize and posted with the wrong account on the same group happened a couple of times since I was not paying attention, then bam all my accounts were banned for ban evasion. WTF I didn’t even comment anything offensive. Their automatic banning is bullshit. I didn’t do anything horrible enough to be site wide banned.
I had my first reddit account for 10 years, then went through them every few months to dumb bans. it provides users a natural quitting point and makes gathering data on someone harder, which seem to go against their interests but I saw that’s a good thing. let them run it into the ground.
were you on a vpn at all? reddit is very picky about that and the ip might have been banned from another user.
Oh no it was me that got banned and yes I had been on a VPN. But I just decided I’m not giving Reddit any of my eyeball time in order for them to make money off of me on ads
