      I will happily forego any/all social media (and never look back) rather than submit to such an idiotic, intrusive, perverse, and disgusting system.

    Scan your biounique eyeball to provide ID whilst retaining your anonymity???

    Anonymity and the ability for someone else to prove it was me are nearly opposites.

    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?

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

    You’d have to get me high on PCP + cocaine + some sort of crazy shit like krokodil to just implant the idea that I need to verify my very existence to a private company to post comments online or to enjoy a website.

        Why? I don’t want anyone here to whom it’s not self evident to that it’s better here. For it to stay a better place it needs to keep better people who can make their own decisions using their brains.

    Adam ruined reddit.

    (Go with me on the joke, reddit was ruined long long time ago. Adam did an endorsement of Orb a few weeks back, got called out and did an apology.)

    I’M STILL BLAMING CONOVER THO
