Reddit CEO says facial verification may be introduced. Ostensibly to prevent bots.
But we all know how dangerous this can be. But most likely Reddit users will just accept it.
Although they have a great free analogue right under their noses - Lemmy. Which is many times better than its competitor.
I wish more people would discover Lemmy, but that’s unlikely.
never been happier to have been banned for no reason at all
Watch /r/politics posts go from 22k upvotes to 3k upvotes overnight.
BREAKING NEWS! Reddit figured out how to make their platform even shittier
Oh sure, that’s why.
I made the switch to Lemmy today, feels old school kind of good.
Reddit is not only allowing for bots to run rampant, but also it’s managed by the Epstein class and their supporters.
Nice ! Fuck that rats nest !
You made the right choice by coming here.
Welcome! You’ll fit right in
On the one hand, this is awful and will be a complete clusterfuck
On the other hand, it would be acceptable if the mods have to use a recent photo as an avatar.
I used to assume most of the bots belonged to Reddit. I still do, too.
Those won’t require id
I want most people to switch to lemmy.
So glad I ditched reddit.
So glad I was banned from Reddit.
Yep, same!
They made it easier for bots to thrive by allowing hidden post histories, limiting the API, and punishing users for “bad” reports, but claim they need face ID to filter out bots?
Fighting bots with less privacy feels like a trade a lot of people won’t be comfortable with.
thank god, i need a kick in the ass to get off that poisonous slop
nuked my reddit account by telling reddit moderators that eventually every last pedophile account holder on reddit would be held accountable for their actions. got permanently banned for “threatening to kill reddit moderators” with police action “promised”. way to admit that reddit mods are pedophiles.
reddit mods not beating the allegations anytime soon
I’m a new lemmy user because of this
Welcome! It’s WAY quieter over here because it’s mostly people, not bots.
I’ve been on reddit for 15 years (on and off again, deleting my accounts and then re-signing up later).
I’m looking forward to a fresh start here.
Welcome to the free side of the internet
If the massive waves of permabans they have been doing for anti-trumpers weren’t enough, this should kill the website entirely.
What? Reddit is left-leaning, why would they ban Anti-Trumpers
funny cause nazis and pedophiles on reddit don’t get banned.
Ah yes, because bots absolutely haven’t managed to fake/generate faces now have they…
