      Reddit is taking new steps to identify bots on the platform — a process that may require some users to confirm that they’re human. In a post on Wednesday, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman writes that the company will introduce a labeling system for accounts registered as bots, and ask users with “automated” or “fishy behavior” to verify that they’re human using methods like fingerprint scanning or submitting their ID.

      With this update, developers can register automated accounts with Reddit, which will then receive an “[APP]” label. However, Reddit also notes that it will be on the lookout for unlabeled accounts with suspicious behavior. “If something suggests an account isn’t human, including automation (hi, web agents), we may ask it to confirm there’s a person behind it,” Huffman writes, adding that these cases “will be rare and will not apply to most users.”

      Disable the ability to make your posting history private. It’s one of the things that set Reddit apart from 4chan and made it very easy to tell if a poster was a bot or a shill.

      RIP accounts with 3 million submission karma and 6 comments, on their hidden profiles.

      I AM TOTALLY NOT A ROBOT. YOU SHOULD LOOK AT t/totallynotrobots TO SEE MORE ORGANIC HUMANS LIKE MYSELF.

      Iv seen account posting nonsense for 24 hours straight. Some how these accounts leave there profile pages wide open and you can tell.

      I’m already not thrilled about social media much anymore. Every site that tries to hit me with some kind of scheme to send them my ID is going to be dropped.

      „to verify that they’re human using methods like fingerprint scanning or submitting their ID.“

      I’m deeply uncomfortable with the idea of giving my fingerprint or actual ID to this site. After the Discord hack, I really don’t trust any platform to keep our personal data safe

      > ask users with “automated” or “fishy behavior” to verify that they’re human using methods like fingerprint scanning or submitting their ID.

      Yeah fuck that. Couldn’t have gone with Captcha, didn’t they?

      Honestly, as someone who constantly gets accused of being a bot for stating my beliefs while having a *provocative username“ – I welcome any opportunity to be able to prove I’m human. But I hope there are better ways than identity verification. It would ruin the very foundation of Reddit.

      I enjoy normal human activities such as consuming food and experiencing emotions.

      reddit active userbase will shrink by like 1/3. They will panic just as they did at switch and allow bots to run rampant again.

      This is great in-theory, but what it is actually is a thinly veiled attempt to begin „boiling the frog“ of rolling out user ID requirements, that’s the very same invasion of privacy that every company and government is trying to roll out these days. That is bad, and we should let Reddit know that we do not accept it and they’ll hurt by losing users if they do this.

      If they can fix the pro-Israel bot brigading in r/worldnews i’ll believe it works.

    25. Naghagok_ang_Lubot on

      My name translate to „Snoring my ass off“. Do you guys think I’ll have to prove my time in redditor court?

    26. PooInTheStreet on

      Sure spez. They will try and see it kills x% of all posts engagement etc. Shareholders no liky and stop it

    28. TehH4rRy on

      They’re everywhere. I saw a post recently on /r/legaladviceuk 5 year old account zero posts apart from that one. Completely unbelievable story about money laundering. Account and post since deleted. Whole thing felt like dead internet 

    29. 11ELFs on

      Y’all think this is going for the real bots, so naive. This is going for us, oh do you use a vpn to protect your privacy? Tough luck bot, prove you are a human by giving away your privacy.

    30. CrispyCassowary on

      As long as there is no ID verification needed, not sharing private info like that

    31. papabear1993 on

      Id rather not have a reddit account rather than give my ID or face ID or whatever 🙂

    32. Sleepy_Witch_Maple on

      The big question here is going to be how many people, not bots, get forced to do verification.

      Because idk about you, but I’m certainly not comfortable putting my ID on Reddit. Id probably just cut my usage and occasionally lurk without an account instead of submitting my ID.

      If there’s little to no false positives and it’s just bots that get hit with this, then it would be a great change. But I’m very skeptical.

    33. Mulchpuppy on

      I don’t know what to think about this. Hopefully a bot will put up a question in r/askreddit so I know what to think. And then maybe tomorrow a bot will put up the same question. And then maybe the day after that. And the day after that…

    35. PopularBroccoli on

      Finally no more accounts insisting ai is actually doing people’s jobs

    36. FangornLeghorn on

      Translation: Redditors who say unapproved things will be hit with “Prove your identity” Admin actions while bots are left entirely alone.

    40. ferchoec on

      Why do I have the feeling that this will target more accounts that criticize something the mod team dislikes being scrutinized, such as Israel, than actual karma bot accounts?

    41. Small-Percentage-181 on

      This is just a prelude to asking for your irl identity.

      I’ve been called a bot many times when I say unpopular things.

    42. Life_Educator3973 on

      And what are the steps again? Totally asking for a friend. I am not a bot.
