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.

Every so often r/conservative traffic dies down and the subreddit turns much more centrist. It's never liberal by any stretch but you'll actually see lots of criticism poke through. Same thing happens with r/politics occasionally. Reddit is just astroturfed so heavily that there isn't a point to it anymore. You have worse than a coinflips odds on replying to an actual human.
