      Who want’s to bet it’ll be primarily focused on accounts without a verified email? Or users using old.reddit.com.

      How about doing away with post hiding so bots and trolls can’t hide as easily? One of the worst things to happen to this ~~sub~~site.

      Edit: meant the whole of Reddit, not just this sub

      If it helps crack down on finance/crypto scam accounts, hell yeah. I just hope there aren’t many false positives

      Cloudflare already admitted half of all online traffic comes from bots. Theyre everywhere and its for the platforms‘ ad revenue. They want to half ass everything to keep as much or profit as they can.

      Gonna be quite difficult considering a lot of real humans are little more than parroting bots these days.

      the verification will get passed on to sweatshops in asia like they’ve been doing for years

      I’ve been slowly becoming tin foil hat man. I have a hard time trusting accounts, pics, videos, and more these days. I’m digging into accounts to see how if they pass the sniff test.

      Maybe they should check their ban bots first… they’re a bit overzealous

      As long as they don’t try to ID me I am happy to help get less bots on this platform.

      I don’t trust that the solution won’t be some other problem but I have to admit, the bots are getting out of hand.

      Lmfao this should go over well.

      Looks like they want to do a slow rollout to avoid spooking it’s base.

      I don’t mind a CAPTCHA test if they suspect a bot. Just don’t do face scan and all that crap

    23. Acadia02 on

      Look no further than any spicy sub reddit or any sub reddit people post pictures of themselves. Or you know, an option to let us report suspected bots.

      I’m tired of seeing crackdown in media headlines. It’s become the new Slam

      The bot problem is ridiculous right now, so I am on board with some sort of verification. However…

      >For now, verification will take the form of on-device methods, including FaceID and passkeys. But the company is considering alternative methods, including World ID, the face-scanning orb company run by Sam Altman. „I think the internet needs verification solutions like this, where your account information, usage data, and identity never mix,“ Huffman writes.

      The moment this happens, regardless of whether I am impacted, I am saying goodbye to Reddit. It will save me much time in my day!

      You know what would probably help identify bots more than anything? Not having all of the posts on accounts hidden. This more or less makes it so bot activity can function without individual oversight. It was a terrible decision to do that

    32. MrCrix on

      Not all the problematic accounts are bots though. There are active paid actors and active groups of real people who upvote, downvote and spread agendas and misinformation for multiple sources. Leaked Discord groups have shown this in the past.

      Bots ruined all social media platforms a long time ago, now it’s just getting 1000x worse

    36. Spirited_Childhood34 on

      But they’ll use a bot to do it instead of paying humans to do it. With all the accompanying fuckups.

    37. WeAreGesalt on

      All I know is if this site asks me to put in an ID I will no longer use this site
