        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

    So this guy helps create a technology that turns bots up to 11 and then he turns around to sell us a privacy invasive solution to the problem he created? What a fucking asshole.

      But would it make you feel better to know that there’s also a crypto currency associated with it?

      Isn’t he an accelerationist? To them the more fuck ups we have the more solutions we make, which is pretty stupid of an argument in my opinion.

        I agree. We obviously need to make huge changes to how we live asap, but it seems so profoundly stupid to let a few unelected people break things without a collectively agreed upon plan in place.

    According to two people familiar with the matter, World ID could soon become a way for Reddit users to verify that they are unique individuals while remaining anonymous on the platform.

    Reddit knowing who I am isn’t okay though. Who tf trusts them?
