    I mean we can all still look at (most) reddit posts if we don’t have an account currently.

    This whole “forcing us to have an account just to look at one post” is so blatantly and obviously a ploy to get your data. It’s kinda disgusting. I would have a tiny bit more respect for Twitter if they just said outright “hey, you need to login to see any of this content so we can get your data. Thanks and fuck you.”

      The funny part is that I can live without shitter no problem. I wish major organisations would stop using it but if I cannot open a like I’m just meh. They lost the little traffic I was giving them.

      While I stopped browsing reddit since moving to lemmy, I do still access old posts and that’ssomething I cannot replace that easily. Later today I’ll do some research on some niche topics that I am sure will lead me to old reddit posts. Nice to be able to do it without an account (for now). And when they force me, I’ll just open a new one for lunch lurking, not using my old one(s) anymore
