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.
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.
This data surely goes straight to Palentir
BREAKING NEWS! Reddit figured out how to make their platform even shittier
Oh sure, that’s why.
Fighting bots with less privacy feels like a trade a lot of people won’t be comfortable with.
Awesome, love it, hope they do it. I love me a good fire.
Face ID? Has he not been paying attention? It’s pretty triival at this point to generate a picture of someone’s face.
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.
I want most people to switch to lemmy.
I used to assume most of the bots belonged to Reddit. I still do, too.
thank god, i need a kick in the ass to get off that poisonous slop
So glad I ditched reddit.
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?
