Always has been.

If there is ever an investigation, even if just journalistic, I hope you make sure you and others who have experienced this report and contribute to it even if it’s just as personal anecdotes. Reddit has been getting away with a lot of bullshit because they have all the power to hide it under the rug.

Though I’m glad Reddit is now feeling so confident about the abuses it’s performing that it’s willing to admit them, if only partially. Something peeking out from under the rug is a pretty big hint.

In other words, lemmy population isn’t just an ever-increasing growth slope, let’s panic.

Not usually, but if you think you might be vitamin deficient because of disease or eating habits, then they can actually be useful. Reminds me of this video, for whom they would certainly have been useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VINtwoyaF_8

Yeah, it’s absurd to see the spam that gets shown by users on default / when joining. It’s when you realize that if you’ve just visited reddit on your own account for a long time that you’ve just been living in a bubble when it reality it was being set up to tailor to something else. I found this out during the heights of its crypto/memestock rush.

What a learned when I used to use Linux is that the biggest concern about a distro should be how up-to-date their repositories are and whether they integrate what you want instead of looks and whistles. User support for that distro is also a big plus.

While I’m sure a lot of mods have been getting away with murder on reddit and have carried it over to lemmy, it’s unfair to characterize lemmy by these The fediverse is the perfect opportunity to begin to demand servers that have transparent moderation and arbitration or that they get put on a block list of the servers that value it. That means being told when your comment is removed and being given a reason. Being sent a notification is something that the server could be doing itself.

I think it’s normal for any service to have drops after a spike.

Slow and steady wins the race. Helps that it isn’t led by a fan of confidence scams.

Thanks, spez / Steve Huffman. Now do us all a favor and fire yourself. It would probably drive that traffic back down slightly, but we could live with it.

Whatever happened to the hackers that were releasing reddit’s internal bullshit? Did they finally get payed and is that why spez is that extra bit of desperate?

Hey, at least I don’t need fake alts, comes with being right.

Tell your people/alts to distribute their downvotes further up the branch, they look as ridiculous as your inability to understand evidence even when directly presented with it. It’s sort of funny to not even have them show up on kbin, I imagine it might be some misguided attempt at obfuscating, although the positive upvotes from accounts with zero comments or activity in old deep threaded content tell me enough. Man I love the transparency in contrast to reddit 😀

In other words, you didn’t read the links. Here is another one from actual lawyers who actually know the law and do actually prosecute for it:

I’m sorry, but outside of the US, you don’t get a free pass to be shitty. It will still require money and effort to bring to court, however.

Read it and weep, it’s not just PII, it’s PD. Sort of why it’s called “Right to be Forgotten”.

“Personal data” shall mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person Even pseudonymised data falls under it,

Reddit doesn’t allow you to delete comments in communities you can’t access, which means they can come back when the community is unprivated. This is completely against the GDPR, since they provide no other way for you to delete your comments. And if you are banned, you won’t even be able to access your comment history to delete them.

The reason nothing happens is because no one is going to unite under a class action lawsuit to make it happen, and when all is said and done EU politicians don’t really listen to these complaints. Try getting in contact with Margrethe Vestager, but don’t expect a reply, even though they had no problem doing an interview and Q&A with Reddit Talk under pluralism activists like Akaash Maharaj who let themselves get compromised by reddit’s NFT confidence scam. At the end of the day, they’ll still maintain their Twitter and Reddit accounts while only paying lip service to the fediverse and ignoring GDPR violations they could themselves claim if they were so interested.

It’s questionable whether they were or weren’t. One would suspect a normal CEO of having evidence that they weren’t legally obligated to if they sued, but this is Musk we are talking about.

Do they have to block a server entirely, or can’t they just block the community?
