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.

This is what made me finally bite the bullet and switch to lemmy.

[-] turdburglar@piefed.social -1 points 2 weeks ago

well done. sign up for a piefed instance too.

[-] poopy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

first ive heard of it! How does it compare, you use both i take it?

[-] turdburglar@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

i do. tbh i don’t notice a difference really, but i like having more than one account after my first home instance shuttered. i opted for piefed on the ios app blorp.

the blorp dev roams these halls and seems pretty friendly and dedicated to making it better all the time.

Blorp dev here. Can confirm I am dedicated to making Blorp the best client for Lemmy and PieFed. I’m biased, but I’m pretty confident the multi account support I built is unmatched by any other client. Let me know if you need anything!

Great to have you! The web version is also worth a try if that interests you. My goal is one unified web and mobile PieFed and lemmy experience.

I like it! Not sure if it will replace boost just yet. Any plans for themes?

[-] moseschrute@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Could you try this little experiment I setup on web? It has a theme dropdown in settings. This is a very janky proof of concept for themes, which will likely change a lot before it gets released. But just to give you an idea.

Looks pretty good! I do love me some Dracula. Catppuccin would be sick too

[-] moseschrute@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Could you make a wishlist of themes? If there are any others besides the two you mentioned

[-] poopy@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Is there anyway to favorite communities for easier access in the sidebar?

[-] moseschrute@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

I think that's a good idea. I created this issue if you wanna track this work https://github.com/Blorp-Labs/blorp/issues/409

Honestly those are the only two I use regularly. Ideally all of the flavors of Catppuccin (I use machiato and mocha mostly)

[-] moseschrute@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Could you try the Dracula theme I added in v1.12.2 and see what you think? If you're not a fan I can look into expanding the theme options, but ideally the next theme will be noticeably different from the 2 existing options.

[-] poopy@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Ive been using it! Liking it. No complaints.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

It has some features and some anti-features. Lemmy is better IMO as it doesn't have a weird social credit score system like PieFed does.

Also just noticed your username. Brothers in poop unite.
