A memorial for the front page of the internet. If you have left reddit or is considering leaving then this community is for you.

There’s also a blog documenting the rise and fall of reddit as well as news and thoughts on the whole issue.

It serves as an archive for posts and topics in case reddit decides to delete anti-reddit posts within its platform.

Just migrated over from Reddit. My account was only 19 days old, and Reddit's automated spam bots completely shadowbanned me purely for connecting over standard mobile carrier data. I didn't even break a rule—the system just flagged my account profile out of nowhere and completely broke my mobile settings menu. Glad to be on the Fediverse instead

its likely actually what pushed to force logins now. banned a large portion of the user base, and that base is only lurking now. with that loss of datamining for google/AI, im guessing whatever scraped currently on reddit is mostly AI generated posts/comments, and reddit desperate to bring back actual users into the fold so they started and will force logins , so that user content can be sold to google again. conveniently google forced limiting accounts per device a few months ago.
