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.
they could just disable signups when they get too many users, or maybe use an invite system to limit signups
Blåhaj has that, works pretty well
Well yeah, that’s what being overwhelmed means
It’d be a good way to get people to spread out and make sure they don’t all join the same instance
