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.
That’s kind of the point.
You can selectively federate with instances you trust, rather than opening the floodgates to the entire fediverse all at once. Start small, allowlist specific instances, and expand from there.
You get the social connectivity without immediately inheriting everyone else’s bot problem.
Right I see. That is an advantage
Yes, I believe so. Time will tell, but the architecture is baked in.
