      I anticipate multiple waves to come over the next few years, as Reddit implements common strategies ahead of, or after, its IPO; including:

      1. Removing old reddit from the platform
      2. Forcing users to provide a phone number for account verification, ending all anonymity among alts
      3. Blocking anonymous browsing for all but the most mainstream subs or perhaps just r/popular

      It’s all about the slow boil.

        Exactly. A lot of what the protests did was embolden Spez. He basically thinks he can do whatever he wants now, but the expression “the straw that broke the camel’s back” applies here. He’s gonna keep making unpopular decisions that eventually make the site unusable for even the casual user.

      I agree with this. RedReader is great for me even though I’m not blind.

      I’m leaving my Reddit account behind permanently next week for Lemmy, been weaning off for two months and doing my farewell to Reddit tour.
