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.

Let me be clear I've been IP banned from Reddit. It does not make any sense that they are IP banning anyone. Especially for nonsense like I evaded a ban in a community by logging in and commenting with a different login. (Which was accidental and not purposeful at all if they had a person look into what happened they would have seen that, AND my comments were really not even anything at all). Because why would you ban people who actively are using your site? If they are a company that makes money off of people engaging in the content of their site why would they ban them? Especially it seems like in the mass banning that's been happening. And I can understand banning one login if it creates an issue but to go into how they find out all of your logins and ban everything seems ridiculous. Especially if your business accounts are on there.
