Reddit is becoming "a logged-in-only experience"

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
tbh the main culprit is ease of use. Icspent time on mastodon looking for content, and finding it is challenging. plus the very nature of federation adds more complexity and non-tech people do not explore because they enjoy it like many tech-heads.
the centralized, spoonfed approach is just simpler. it takes a somewhat hardcore desire for privacy, security to drive one through the difficulty.
