I've been working on https://treehouse.net to hopefully grow into a reddit alternative, starting small with a select set of topics. Bootstrapping a social network is an uphill battle to be sure. But I want treehouse to be the ad-free, bot-free experience original reddit once was.

As of today it won’t allow me to access my account at all or new Reddit in any form without providing age verification (face scan or gov ID). AI faces, video game create-a-character, and IDs off of Google all failed.

Strangely I can still access everything in incognito on old.reddit.com; but can’t login.

Think I’m done with them.
