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.
a big reason people won’t come to lemmy is the content is a political echo chamber and defederation is confusing as a concept to most people. i agree with most political opinions i see on here, but it’s kind of annoying to just see politics every time i open the app. maybe i just need to get better at tuning my feed, but most of the popular subs are political in some way.
politics is at lemmy’s core, it was literally created by communists & socialists to serve as an online community for leftists; not rightists like liberals or conservatives.
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.
I agree for the most part. But everything isn’t just a different political view.
You’re literally posting this in an instance where lots of people actively deny the extent of Stalins crimes. Justifying it as “some countries miss the soviet, so he can’t have been that bad” as if the Soviet ended with Stalin and didn’t continue on for decades after.
I don’t know about you. But that is as far away from an echo chamber I think you can get.
