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.

Welcome! It's WAY quieter over here because it's mostly people, not bots.

I've been on reddit for 15 years (on and off again, deleting my accounts and then re-signing up later).

I'm looking forward to a fresh start here.

Welcome! It definitely is quieter in ways here, but I find that actually engaging in conversation is better. There's more real people here.

But this place also has the downfalls that early Reddit and 4chan had. Still better than current Reddit by miles!

I don't feel like I'm constantly sorting through low quality bot shit to find a human with authentic human expertise.

I do miss the long chains of wordplay, the sense of humor and fun. But Reddit gave that up for ragebait ages ago.
