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.

    Okay, I think this is just ragebait. The real quote is:

    The most lightweight way is with something like Face ID or Touch ID in the family of technology called passkeys; they actually require human presence.

    Which isn’t even closely the same as requiring manual ID verification. This is about requiring PassKeys with a special biometric confirmation requirement.
