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.
Apparently, my several year old accounts need Persona verification to access stuff in 18+ communities.
…which, as I recall, are consistently commented on by <2 month sock accounts. As far as a year ago, you could just register an account and go wild. DID THAT CHANGE??? DID IT, SPEZ???
