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.

Thank you. This is why I’m here.

Ditto!

Well that and they permabanned my 14 year old, 1million karma account for making a post that insinuated Donald is a pedophile that some MAGA got all upset about and they rejected my appeal.

So....fuck em.

Mine was for suggesting Biden drone strike SCOTUS justices immediately after they ruled that the president is effectively above the law. I wasn't advocating for Biden to do anything illegal! 🤣

Well that depends. Were you suggesting that he do that officially or unofficially?

I stand with your 14 year old. Same thing happened to me (well, very similar, my message was more in that clot has just one job category).

I had a similar account that got banned for connecting to the wrong VPN endpoint. Clicked a random server from my VPN provider, suddenly my account was permanently banned with no ability to appeal

Thinking it was just some issue on my end (it was a non-standard looking ban), I logged into another OG account of mine, which also promptly got perma-banned

Extreme incompetence for them to be issuing perma-bans like that based on IP address

Good, next step is installing Artix :3

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Funny way to spell Arch

/s

I don't use Arch, btw

I just moved to CachyOS when I learned about Artix. The distro hopping never truly ends, does it? LOL.
