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 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?

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.

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!

whatever me and everyone else useful is banned. reddit can do whatever the fuck it wants its just a bunch of white supremacists i think.

Who is floop?

I'll give you $1 per eyeball

Wow who's your butthole guy?

Wtf is this sorcery your post says "1." but when I reply its "37."

Facial recognition in smartphones is a very different thing from basically every point of view. Are you sure you don't know a single person using an iPhone? Chances are they'll be using FaceID to unlock their phone.

I don't think I know a single person NOT using biometrics to unlock their smartphone.

Edit: I'm sure there at least 3 people on Lemmy that don't use biometrics but that doesn't change anything I'm pretty sure

Edit edit: another one! Maybe there are at least 4 people now.
