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.

      It’s probably going to be even harder to prevent here because due to federation it’s very easy to open multiple accounts across instances and no instance admin has full user data of accounts on other instances…

      But it also provides the opportunity to move to instances (and their communities) where the problem is well-managed, if any exist.

      You know you can host your own instance, right? With total population n=1 (just you)? Federating with a micro instance might be difficult but from what ive read, it should be possible - you just need an old laptop to act as your always on server and some know-how.
