I’ve been a social media hermit for the past 3 years but recently I’ve given up and created a few accounts across different apps again. It’s unreal how strict the requirements are now.
- Give e-mail (ok)
- Give phone number (… eeh, ok)
- Use the new account for a while
- Account suspended, please upload selfie to continue (no thanks xi). There are also some verification promps where you have to record a video and rotate your face left to right
If this isn’t a message to move to indie web I don’t know what is

Maybe for app banking app (and even…), it could be understanding but for instagram, NEVER! Even for security reason… Bro they don’t care about anything on their network, allow soft porn and all that kind of stuff. And after all of that they are going to come to say that it is for security reasons 😂 Stay on the “libre” web, Lemmy is a great start! 👌
i mean, unless the bank already knows what you look like or could cross reference with an existing id photo, i cant see how it would be any more secure.
