Humans with human eyeballs are still using Reddit? I thought it was just bots moderating bots by now.
happy cake day
So how much are they paying reddit, exactly…?
…this isn’t satire?
Every frickin day… at least once, I read a post’s title and start looking around for clues that it’s not real… My mind goes: “is it the onion? Is it April’s fools again already? This can’t be true…”
On the one hand, I understand the inherent limitations of pseudonymous social media and why a corporation and even end users might benefit from authoritative user identification.
On the other hand, oh hell no.
Exactly. Reddit isn’t my fucking bank. They don’t need to know who I am.
They don’t even require an email when signing up. At the same time they speed run to biometrics.
What a shit show they’ve become.
Whatcha mean, they obviously need to count the wrinkles on your dirty balloon knot.
- Saved them the trouble.
Wow who’s your butthole guy?
Wtf is this sorcery your post says “1.” but when I reply its “37.”
huh… maybe because of the period and no space? Markdown thinks it’s a list item?
- Lets see.
Hum
I mean, there’s someone here who has (not even exaggerating) 15+ accounts that they just rotate thru.
It’s a hassle to block them all because I still see new ones, but I’ll take that over “proving myself” as a unique person with something like this.
don’t kink shame my dude

scan your eyes to use social media? don’t mind if I DONT lol
You’d have to get me high on PCP + cocaine + some sort of crazy shit like krokodil to just implant the idea that I need to verify my very existence to a private company to post comments online or to enjoy a website.
Thanks Reddit for giving me yet another reason not to go back
I got banned for more or less saying Elon is a miserable twat who deserves bad things to happen to him on that one thread where people went full board on the gruesome depictions and that was enough for a permaban. Fuck Reddit.
I got banned for saying that poisoning an invasive species like cats isn’t any different than poisoning an invasive species like rats, except that cats are cute and fluffy and rats are not.
It was under a post about the Australian government putting up poison traps to combat the local cat population which is threatening local endangered wildlife.
Drink verification can to continue.
This will do it. It will finally kill reddit.

Who TF is actually going to want to use these platforms bad enough to do this shit?
Facebook sucks and has for quite some time.
Reddit is mainly just very poorly disguised government surveillance and AI generated advertisement, and none of the content is even enjoyable or enticing. Who TF is their target audience?
Facebook sucks and has for quite some time.
In Canada we passed a regulation that social media sites have to pay our media companies to link to their articles. Google is paying up, but Facebook said no, and has banned news. It has made Facebook here much less terrible.
You severely overestimate how much the average person cares about their own privacy.
Even so, are they going to acquire, set up, and use an iris scanner just to remain anonymous on Reddit?
It’ll be in yer phone
Probably someday, but the article is describing a dedicated orb device that does this.
Who TF is their target audience?
Useful idiots
Bots
If World ID becomes one of Reddit’s third-party providers, it would be good news for Tools for Humanity, which was founded six years ago with the lofty goal of providing a universal basic income to the world by offering them cryptocurrency called Worldcoin in exchange for scanning their eyeballs with an Orb.
What the actual fuck.
Seriously how on Earth is that supposed to work?
Selling data on people is a lucrative business. Although it is a business and not UBI.
whatever me and everyone else useful is banned. reddit can do whatever the fuck it wants its just a bunch of white supremacists i think.
there’s such a painfully obvious agenda over there with the admins. I got a 7 day ban for knocking russians and saying “slava ukraini” then I got a perm ban a week after that for posing the question “how long until an average citizen with an AR decides to deal with ICE themselves?” because apparently both times I was “inciting violence against a minority” because Russians and ICE agents, according to Reddit, are minorities
The Russia part is still how it works in .ml.
I’ve blocked the .ml instance so I wouldn’t know.
It’s not how it works, don’t worry. They’re just strawmanning.
Yeah I’m not sure why I haven’t yet. I guess I just keep thinking that there’s some topics like tech that they can’t turn into a propaganda opportunity, but they consistently prove me wrong.
