Just no. I use reddit because it's pseudonimous. I would never reveal my id on reddit of all places, regardless of how useful it can be.

I don't think psudonyms are an issue, but verifying that a user is an actual person vs an AI chatbot is absolutely something that every popular social media platform will need to tackle at some point.

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

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! -

Lol. The bots to humans ratio will get even bigger if that happens.
schrieb am 20. Juni 2025, 21:14 zuletzt editiert vonIt works: You can tell the real humans because they'll be the only ones unwilling to do this invasive bullshit. The bots will just come up with something fake to scan and carry on as they always have.

Reddit knowing who I am isn't okay though. Who tf trusts them?

schrieb am 20. Juni 2025, 21:59 zuletzt editiert von passepartout@feddit.orgWill they though? Facebook has already created undisclosed bot accounts themselves before. A Platform where real users and such bots are indistinguishable (for the user) sounds like a social media corpos and authoritarian governments wet dream to me. Also reminds me of the attempts to disguise ads as natural content.

schrieb am 20. Juni 2025, 22:26 zuletzt editiert von buelldozer@lemmy.todayThe bot problem has been around since before Sam Altman was old enough to legally drink. For example in the early days the founders of Reddit were running bots to make the site look wayyy busier than it actually was in order to attract new users.
He's a convenient bogey-man, and a huge asshole, but he's the not the source of this problem.
