None of that sounds appealing. ‘Curbing toxicity with AI’ means a bot is going to ban you because it doesn’t recognise sarcasm. And ‘new tech to verify your identity’ sounds like a privacy violation at best. ‘Verifying that you own a product before they let you post in its community’ is a complete lack of understanding of how people use places like this. Digg can fuck right off.
minus-squarepool_spray_098@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·13 days agoYeah, the verifying that you own a product thing is so dumb. “Hey <insert product> community. I’m thinking about purchasing <insert product>, but I wanted to know if it can do X, Y, and Z.” “your post has been deleted because you have not proven that you own <insert product>.” Wow, it’s like they made Reddit even worse.
