But would it make you feel better to know that there’s also a crypto currency associated with it?
I can't believe you've done this to me

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) -
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.

I wish. I have noticed that I don’t see many Lenny endorsements anymore, I wonder if they remove those (I know my comment has been removed couple of times).

If World ID becomes one of Reddit’s third-party providers, it would be good news for Tools for Humanity, which was founded six years ago with the lofty goal of providing a universal basic income to the world by offering them cryptocurrency called Worldcoin in exchange for scanning their eyeballs with an Orb.
What the actual fuck.
Seriously how on Earth is that supposed to work?

It reminds me of the eyeballs in linqspace in Beneath a Steel Sky.

Create a problem
Sell the solution

Yeah this sounds like final nail in the coffin idea
Nah, since it is only an option (at least it read like this) not much would happen (again) I guess.
Face recognition in smartphones is spread widely even though I know nobody using it.

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

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.
Isn't he an accelerationist? To them the more fuck ups we have the more solutions we make, which is pretty stupid of an argument in my opinion.

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.

- Saved them the trouble.
Wow who's your butthole guy?
Wtf is this sorcery your post says "1." but when I reply its "37."

It's a solution to a problem Lemmy will soon have in that case.
Which is bots.
Lemmy isn't flooded with bots and astroturfing because it's essentially too small to matter. The audience is something like < 0.001% that of reddit.
Once it grows the problem comes here as well, and we have no answers for it.
It's a shitty situation for the internet as a whole, and the only solution is verifying humans. And corporations CANNOT be trusted with that kind of access/power
