Hmh, that's a drawback to me. I like to have different accounts for different things and keep them more or less strictly separated. I use two subreddits and each has its own account. On average I'd say account creation has become harder because everybody and her child tries to shunt you into some social sign-in but it still is not difficult to make accounts. "Modern" password managers make it a breeze to juggle many accounts, and frankly, what Netscape Navigator could do almost 30 years ago was already enough for that. Same goes for forums. phpbb [1] can run on any LAMP potato and you get a whole boatload of potatoes for 2 EUR/month at Hetzner. I don't know what HN requires, but I guess it's not much more. The hard part of forums are the people needed to keep order and Reddit is not helping there, quite the opposite. Sorry, I notice I'm grumpy. [1] https://www.phpbb.com/ https://www.phpbb.com/
