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.

I wish more people would discover Lemmy, but that's unlikely.

Plus...there is a LOT to talk about these days, and most sane takes have been effectively banned from all large platforms lmao, with people helping all this along by voluntarily censoring the DUMBEST FUCKING WORDS in their memes, even, just to further their own reach within those shit holes.

So. Yeah, Lemmy be political.

Buckle up, it's about to get a lot worse when you won't even be allowed to use social media until you submit to a face scan like op was trying to share.
