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.

Oh no, how am I going to pick a server?! That’s even harder than choosing a shirt to put on!

    It's weird, but that shit intimidates non technical people, and there are a lot of them. It would need better if it says something like 'Click on the flag of the country closest to where you live' or something like that.

    Linux seems to have managed to do this - I recently did I mint install on my laptop, it was all GUI, no arcane jargon, no need to use the console, really well optimised for the non-technical folk. You'd be surprised how many people see 'server' and think 'I don't have one of those, and I don't think I want one'.
