It finally happened. After 8 years of usage, R*ddit decided to force me to prove my age to even see the front page. I absolutely refuse to give them my face or ID, so I guess it's finally time to let the dumpster fire go. I hope the platform burns to the ground asap. Really hope its current state generates more activity here, Lemmyverse really does seem like what Reddit should have been.

Let it marinate. Either there's gonna be a data leak or they are simply going to sell the data themselves. AI companies are going to scoop it all up and train their models.

In a few years you can ask the LLM to generate you an accurate image of a reddit mod and we finally will have the definitive answer wether the the memes are all true or not.
