So this guy helps create a technology that turns bots up to 11 and then he turns around to sell us a privacy invasive solution to the problem he created? What a fucking asshole.

[–] Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

But would it make you feel better to know that there’s also a crypto currency associated with it?

[–] Dogyote@slrpnk.net 15 points 1 day ago

I can't believe you've done this to me

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.

[–] rozodru@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

Create a problem

Sell the solution

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

[–] brsrklf@jlai.lu 20 points 1 day ago (3 children)

A lot less than 20% when it comes to specific subjects. The great thing about reddit was finding communities around just about every topic or hobby. If 100 people had a passion for something they could meet on Reddit and still have a comfy, somewhat active sub reddit.

On Lemmy you've got generic technology, generic news, generic videogames, generic pics, and almost everything else doesn't get enough traction to keep living. It's a basic population problem, the fraction of people knowing about Lemmy is just not enough to gather around shared stuff. Even those that do use Lemmy are probably not aware of every community attempt that could interest them.

I still see more communities being abandoned than new ones appearing.

[–] lemmyingly@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

What you describe is the main reason that's stopping me from 100% leaving Reddit. There isn't enough variety and there isn't enough activity in communities that isn't in the few popular ones. At the moment it feels like +80% of current users fit into a specific demographic.

[–] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Wayyyyyy less than 20%.

Even removing, incredibly liberal, bot percentages from reddit Lemmy is still < 0.001% of the audience

[–] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

There are like 60 highly-specific cat subreddits but only 2 general ones on Lemmy.

Reddit wants to become bots talking to bots

I would not ponder this orb

[–] besselj@lemmy.ca 35 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lol. The bots to humans ratio will get even bigger if that happens.

[–] cecilkorik@piefed.ca 30 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It works: You can tell the real humans because they'll be the only ones unwilling to do this invasive bullshit. The bots will just come up with something fake to scan and carry on as they always have.

They are not all accounted for, the lost seeing stones. We do not know who else may be watching.

I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you post that.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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?

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

These companies are really seeing how far they can get away with shit. It's mind blowing.
