    those systems don’t even work and can be so easily tricked.

      normalization is the point, and harvesting data, not actual safety in any way

    Is there any aspect of the police state that libs won’t support?

    Y’all have your fascist TikTok and bullshit age gates.

    Enjoy your “AI” biometrics! Guaranteed chuck and nancy are making big money.

    Liberalism enables fascism.

          The problem is that millions do, and won’t understand what the big deal is, and be sucked into the fucking psyop vortex.

      for Roblox, at least, you’re not missing out. If I wanted to get fleeced by a bunch of pedophiles and bigots, I’d check out the next RNC gathering.

    My kid wants to be verified on Roblox sooooooo bad so he can defend himself against trolls. It’s actually been a good lesson in ignoring those idiots like water off a ducks back.

    I’m permaband from Reddit but I miss some local subs. I hope this encourages people to move away to something else.

      Unfortunately probably a lot fewer will move than we expect. People seem capable of accepting all sorts of shittification in favour of actively changing their platform. Just look at how many still uses twitter, despite its literal nazification.

      How do they permaban you? By IP address? I can’t see how they could verify a new user being the same person as a old one. Email address is trivial to get around too.

        I got permabanned a while ago. In the time since, I’ve moved to a new country and gotten all new devices. Made a new account with a new email address to try to join local subs in the new area.

        That account was banned a couple hours later for ban evasion. I had made zero comments or posts and hadn’t joined any of my old subs. After that, I assumed they just have an AI that auto bans a chunk of new accounts “just in case”, because I genuinely have no idea what they could have done to connect the two accounts to each other.
