Reddit, racing to preserve “humanness and authenticity,” has discussed using Sam Altman’s World ID, sources say.

    Exactly. Reddit isn’t my fucking bank. They don’t need to know who I am.

      They don’t even require an email when signing up. At the same time they speed run to biometrics.

      What a shit show they’ve become.

      Your bank doesn’t even need to know who you are.

      On a related note, Bank of America, if you’re reading this, my name is floop @lemmy.dbzer0.com, and I would like to withdraw all the money from my account. Nonsequential bills please!

            huh… maybe because of the period and no space? Markdown thinks it’s a list item?
