I can see why Reddit needs to secure the user base. As not accounts proliferate they need to be able to demonstrate verified real users to their advertisers. Unfortunately for privacy, this will be widespread, in that case. I'm opting out.

I really hope this drives a ton of users to Lemmy. I love this platform but it sadly really feels like a 20% Reddit :/

I mean, come on. We shit on redditors, but even redditors won't stand for getting their iris's scanned just to use the site..
I think you dropped this: /s
According to two people familiar with the matter, World ID could soon become a way for Reddit users to verify that they are unique individuals while remaining anonymous on the platform.
Reddit knowing who I am isn't okay though. Who tf trusts them?

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

i have a novelty account i kept around and i just post luigi pictures whenever it gets unbanned. it has probably only been unbanned a week this year
I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you post that.
They are not all accounted for, the lost seeing stones. We do not know who else may be watching.
That is perhaps the only orb I care not to ponder.
These companies are really seeing how far they can get away with shit. It's mind blowing.
Adam ruined reddit.
(Go with me on the joke, reddit was ruined long long time ago. Adam did an endorsement of Orb a few weeks back, got called out and did an apology.)
I'M STILL BLAMING CONOVER THO

Reddit wants to become bots talking to bots
Just no. I use reddit because it's pseudonimous. I would never reveal my id on reddit of all places, regardless of how useful it can be.

I hope they do this, it'd make the APIopolypse look like a practice run.
I’m 100% for technological advancement and even AI.
They will have to rip my fucking eyes out before I let them scan them with this thing.

they already have too much info from their users, same as facebook... years ago things like this were heavily rejected (like PIPA act when the SOPA almost happened)
I heard this news a couple years ago. No chance in hell it happens
