  Nothing wrong with that

    Agreed, but it’s presumptive to think they’ll make accounts here when they didn’t make accounts there.

    What to do about the influx of new users? Nothing. Reddit’s latest foot-shooting won’t drive new account creation the way the original exodus did.

  Not true. I am that person.

  At the start, yes. But I would imagine some fraction will convert over if they like the content.

  I suspect that’s how a lot of people got started on Reddit.

  For sure to some degree, but I watch a weekly fccincinnati game thread (soccer) not logged in because I deleted my account 3 years ago.

  Noticed last night I couldn’t look at that thread in old reddit without logging in, I could still visit by going to regular reddit which wasn’t gonna happen.

  I do have a throwaway from long back that maybe has one comment posted. so I used that last night but it will likely end with me visiting even less than I do now.

    You could try the redlib front end as an alternative.

      I just want enough people to come here so I don’t want to give them any clicks
