It finally happened. After 8 years of usage, R*ddit decided to force me to prove my age to even see the front page. I absolutely refuse to give them my face or ID, so I guess it's finally time to let the dumpster fire go. I hope the platform burns to the ground asap. Really hope its current state generates more activity here, Lemmyverse really does seem like what Reddit should have been.

After the IPO March 2024 they've really stepped on the enshittification-gas pedal. They'll ban users for pointing out the bots - and the bots they refuse to ban. What's even more hilarious is how they removed old.reddit.com to stop AI scraping, and now they're entering the final stages what even un-registered users being able to view reddit content at all.
