It’s going to be a catch-22 until we sustain stable slow growth for long enough to reach critical mass. That is, unless Reddit fucks up royally enough to trigger another exodus. Such as when they’ll eventually turn off old.reddit.

I really hope this isn’t the end of the nice bit of growth we’ve seen recently.

Confirm password fields reduces conversion rates. Google has such a chokehold on the market that I doubt they care about that and might be more interested in potentially reducing password reset traffic after miss typed password inputs. Though in fairness I think it’s doubtful if there is even a benefit in that area from having confirm password fields. At least if you have a proper unmasking or “show password” option while registering.

Tbh I kinda agree with this comment:

I’ve said it before, we need the lowest possible barrier to entry possible if we are to be successful at attracting users in greater numbers, especially casual ones (which are desperately needed here).
