It's been 9 days that way for myself but I visited their log on would be required announcement page 20 days ago, so my IP / fingerprint was probably mapped and thus first to be flagged. I noted at least one other comment at HN confirming they too had struck a request to log in the same day I found old.reddit effectively walled off. It's rare I find myself landing at reddit by way of a search, most times it is by way of following an interesting post from HN.

The new reddit site only serves me the OP of a thread (Probably my fault, my configuration I have blocked a couple of intrusive PII gathering services disguised as APIS and a bunch of other sites with intrusive scripts ) -- it's the comments where the value is at so reddit is now totally useless to me - I suppose I should get around to adding the site to my growing deny list.

Edit: clarity.
