Reddit CEO says facial verification may be introduced. Ostensibly to prevent bots.
But we all know how dangerous this can be. But most likely Reddit users will just accept it.
Although they have a great free analogue right under their noses - Lemmy. Which is many times better than its competitor.
I wish more people would discover Lemmy, but that’s unlikely.


This is what made me finally bite the bullet and switch to lemmy.
well done. sign up for a piefed instance too.
Also just noticed your username. Brothers in poop unite.
first ive heard of it! How does it compare, you use both i take it?
It has some features and some anti-features. Lemmy is better IMO as it doesn’t have a weird social credit score system like PieFed does.
i do. tbh i don’t notice a difference really, but i like having more than one account after my first home instance shuttered. i opted for piefed on the ios app blorp.
the blorp dev roams these halls and seems pretty friendly and dedicated to making it better all the time.
Blorp dev here. Can confirm I am dedicated to making Blorp the best client for Lemmy and PieFed. I’m biased, but I’m pretty confident the multi account support I built is unmatched by any other client. Let me know if you need anything!
Downloading now!
Great to have you! The web version is also worth a try if that interests you. My goal is one unified web and mobile PieFed and lemmy experience.

I like it! Not sure if it will replace boost just yet. Any plans for themes?
Could you try this little experiment I setup on web? It has a theme dropdown in settings. This is a very janky proof of concept for themes, which will likely change a lot before it gets released. But just to give you an idea.
