    The only thing keeping the main community that I still visit reddit for (not nearly often enough, since I only look at it on old Reddit) on Reddit is discoverability. People search Google and the Reddit community is in the results, so I don’t think they’ll make it log in to view

    That same community will probably leave the platform when old.reddit (with Reddit Enhancement Suite) is closed, unless Reddit actually adds comparable mod tools

        If I go to twitter mainpage I can’t see anything without logging in.

        If I go direct to a profile I see can’t see anything without logging and;

        If I go to a specific post, I can read the initial post but nothing else.

        That’s what I expect will happen to Reddit
