News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Oh boy, identity mechanics to curb out the last vestiges of privacy.
They're pretty much declaring a war on VPNs also
Yep. More than half the time I can't access Reddit through Proton VPN.
I can. But i have an account.

Meh. Thanks but fuck Reddit anyway.
Also doesn’t fix the problem at all, I can still just use AI to post to my main account
I wonder where people in the future will get their information from. What trustworthy sources of information are there? If the internet is overrun with bots, then you can't really trust anything you read there, as it could all be propaganda. What else to do, though, to get your news?
That's the killer app right there: the complete inability for the common person to distinguish between true and false. That's what they're going for.
you could try to cook up some kind of trust chain, without totally abandoning privacy.
Get a government-certified agencies minting master key tied to your id. You only get one, with trust rating tied to it.
With that master key you can generate infinite amount of sub-ids that dont identify you but show your trust rating(fuzzed).
Have a cross-network reporting system that can lower that rating for abuses like botting.
idk Im just spitballing
What's stopping me from using my key to post ai slop?
The slop will be caught, your rating lowered until all your messages are simply filtered out as spam.
let me scan your eyeballs. it’s the only way
Discord's face scan
I dunno, part of me is ok with it. It's clear to me how bad things are going to get. So having certain platforms or spaces with some level of public identity validation seems like it might be ok....
Well, it’s a great method to find people to target for political speech.
Especially when it's about gathering real information. When everything you read is written by an anonymous author, you'd have no chance to know whether it's true or wrong, except if it's a paper on theoretical maths of course.
Yeah, a real problem solver would probably be to remove the incentive for someone to do this.
It would probably be far less likely for someone to do that on lemmy, as there is no karma and you dont get paid for upvotes or something. (Still there are incentives, like creating credibility, celebrity accounts, maybe influence public opinion, self-pleasure from seeing upvotes to "your" posts/comments etc., but they arent such potent incetives as directly monetary incetives.)
Wait what. I had been on reddit for years and I had never been aware of this. You get paid for upvotes?
And I thought "karma" was just another word for "upvotes".
Well since around a year ago they decided to give some direct monetary incentive to farm upvotes and gold, as people weren't already doing this to sell accounts.
