Reddit and FaceID Verification (thelemmy.club)

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 can fairly certainly confirm that influnece agents are active on lemmy. Including plenty of US government connected ones ginning up support for the Iran war. Especially on the larger .world accounts it appears.

.world is no different than reddit and anyone on that instance should expect such skullduggery.

I'm on .world and on reddit, and reddit is much, much worse.

It's clear that the leftwing left wing left reddit a while ago; so that leaves behind liberals, conservatives, and moderates that still can't make up their minds about Trump somehow.
