To be fair, you can barely view any post while unauthenticated these days. Sometimes I click on a link to a tweet on my work laptop (where I'm not authenticated) and I get immediately assaulted by several pop-ups and cookie bars and redirected to the landing page when try to dismiss them.

You can create a new account. It's a poorly designed feature that degrades the user experience semi-permanently and with no recourse.
Is "recourse" a good pattern for preventing abuse and harassment? Do any other platforms implement "recourse?"
Being blocked by like "pmarca" forever is kind of silly.
I have given up trying to view content unauthenticated, I used to be able to close the popups but now I get redirected to a login when I do.

You can insert "cancel" between "x" and ".com"
