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 year or so ago I also got a permaban on my old reddit account. I never did find out the reason for it, as to my memory none was stated. But I immediately stopped using reddit and after a while started using lemmy when I realized there were better alternatives. Just now I tried to log in to my reddit account to check whether I missed the permaban reason, but now my account is simply “locked” and I need to change my password. The notification message is not the same as it was back then.
