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.

    i bet my account is still active somehow; i intentionally violated every rule to get banned during the protest and only 3 or 4 communities banned me; and even then they were just shadow bans.

      I was saying a lot of questionable luigi mangione related things after that happened, I couched it all, never came right out saying anything, but that might have caught up with me. That was several accounts ago but they can tell it’s you still I hear tell even though I use temporary email to sign up.

        Yeah, it’s become crystal clear that they just multiple data warehouses and server side tracking to identify people.
