This sent me down a rabbit hole for a moment because I’d never heard of Yoti (fucking dystopian shit). A Reddit post caught my eye because it had to do with PlayStation. It’s in the r/privacy sub & turns out it had been removed by a mod for breaking their rules regarding any mention of alternative OSes.
Say what?!?
Alternative OSes are a major option for privacy. Ho my gawd, Reddit has truly turned into completely useless bullshit. Un. Fucking. Real.
I am so disappointed in Reddit. Never going back. Why does every fun digital playground have to turn to shit eventually.
Shareholders, my guy, it’s always external shareholders (and a central point of hosting).
At least the fediverse doesn’t have that issue (and never will).
Second this and adding: Fiduciary responsibility and how US economic law places it above all else. Other jurisdictions, particularly in Europe, require companies to balance multiple responsibilities, such as towards their workforce, societal, ecological, and yes, fiduciary, too. It doesn’t solve all issues and can be vague AF, but at least well-meaning CEOs can fall back to these other corporate responsibilities in court while the same CEO would be sued into oblivion by US shareholders.
Hey, I used Reddit for years, I guess as anyone else here, and even with that Appolo client, it was so much worse than what I have now with Mlem client. (Speaking of iPhones right now.) And the quality of the conversation is so much better in here, even despite (or thanks to, who knows) not many people in here, really.
I think Reddit is better only for when you need a lot of people in the comments for some reason. But now I think you don’t need that for most of the cases. All you need is just some people to hang around, otherwise there’s tumbleweed and it’s not as useful too. But the number of people we all need, it’s not that big, actually!
I mean, fuck Reddit.
The security of your phone is a concern to surveillance fanatics.
So age verification was never about children, was it?
Of course not. It is the Epstein class who wants it. It is all about surveillance and being able to steal your data.
Yoti? The privacy violating Yoti? The law breaching Yoti?

This really sucks, and I’m worried for you guys using graphene that you’re going to be boxed out of absolutely everything and find yourselves on “terrorist” lists…which is sooo fuckn stupid, but that’s the time were unfortunately living in.
Wtf is an authority?
The state police and the cyber police, I reckon
Yah. “The Authorities” sounds like they don’t know who to report people to, so they substitute with non-specific bullshit to worry people.
Who would go through all the trouble to install GOS, to take back their privacy… just to give it all up with an app like yoti?
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. We should be encouraging people to switch even if the level of privacy they want doesn’t match our own.
Without giving too much info, I had to use it as part of a legal process a while ago, it’s what the solicitors use to verify ID so I didn’t really have a choice but to use it. But my thinking about using things like GrapheneOS etc. isn’t necessarily to be 100% anonymous online, it’s more to just minimize the amount of info they can get out of me.
douchebag “support”
Yoti is now claiming that this user is lying: https://xcancel.com/getyoti/status/2063946615073751299#m
does it happen with other roms as well?
