KYC? Isn't that a sex lube?

Been trying to get people on Reddit to cross over to the light over here but damn it’s hard

...this isn't satire?

Also look at how FB et al can't even keep themselves from tracking you all over the internet using all kinds of clever engineering engineering beyond plain cookies.

If it actually becomes ubiquitous, the ability to tie all the anonymous impressions to one person is too tempting for surveillance ghouls.

Selling data on people is a lucrative business. Although it is a business and not UBI.

Who TF is actually going to want to use these platforms bad enough to do this shit?

Facebook sucks and has for quite some time.

Reddit is mainly just very poorly disguised government surveillance and AI generated advertisement, and none of the content is even enjoyable or enticing. Who TF is their target audience?

I got banned for more or less saying Elon is a miserable twat who deserves bad things to happen to him on that one thread where people went full board on the gruesome depictions and that was enough for a permaban. Fuck Reddit.

But think of all the convenience you gain by not having to remember a password! That darn brain of mine

I got banned for saying that poisoning an invasive species like cats isn't any different than poisoning an invasive species like rats, except that cats are cute and fluffy and rats are not.

It was under a post about the Australian government putting up poison traps to combat the local cat population which is threatening local endangered wildlife.

Humans with human eyeballs are still using Reddit? I thought it was just bots moderating bots by now.

As explained, it's not even quite user identification, but rather verification of a unique individual. The ability to identify that an account is held by a unique person (as opposed to possibility being one of many puppet accounts) is pretty useful, particularly if it's not possible to backtrace it to an otherwise identifiable person.

Even so, the problem I see with this system is that a person has to be careful to never, ever, ever associate their unique ID with themselves, though there will be constant pressure to do so.

Okay I've scanned my eyeball and I've got some of their worthless cryptocurrency. What about next month, do they want me to scan my eyeball again, because I guarantee it won't have changed.
