Reddit and FaceID Verification (lemmy.ml)

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.

I actually made my account here recently because of that post. I'd be surprised if I'm the only one. We may not get everyone on reddit, but a sizable chunk leaving and review bombing them in the app store could gain their attention.
