Reddit now won't let non-logged in users see subreddits until they've been "reviewed"

This is literally just the r/nyt subreddit about The New York Times.

Given he apparently takes inspiration from Elon Musk, it's only a matter of time until u/spez starts adding post view limits unless you pay extra.

Honestly, in my ideal world, all the communities I enjoy will be somewhere between 10,000 and 50,000 people (if I had to put a number). I don’t want a Reddit replacement, I want something a little more akin to the forums I used to enjoy. I don’t want an algorithm trying to upset me or force me to doom scroll and I don’t want trolls/“karma farmers.” We’ll see if we can build that. For now I’m just content not to see a bunch of NFT “snoovatars” (cringe) everywhere.

I hear that. The general difficulty of setting up a Lemmy account will detract many low effort users (at least I hope)

Do you remember something awful forums? Think it was $10 for an account and it was amazing. I wouldn’t mind having to pay for an account to keep bots and trolls from infiltrating

as long as users that previously joined get grandfathered in and can use the platform for free
