If a Kbin member requests deletion of their personal account and they happen to be a community owner, would ownership of that community default to the moderator with the next-longest tenure? That’s how it worked at the bad place, is it the same way here?

Not sure, but account deletion is a manual process here. I suspect what actually happens is that the magazine is tranferred to the default owner / first admin account. On kbin.social that would be ernest.

See for example https://kbin.social/m/trans - a sub with few threads. I think the original owner successfully requested account deletion which is why that sub is owned by ernest now.

How long does account deletion normally take after the deletion is requested?

Not sure of the historical average time. It’s a manual process though so it will take some time for the admins to get to it.

Also, do the posts get nuked along with the account, or do they remain on Kbin?

I saw an example of this some months ago. It seems like the posts do get nuked, though with recent updates I’m not 100% certain that this is still the case. Again see /m/trans - most likely it was one of those subs where most of the threads were started by the owner posting, so when the owner’s account was deleted, so to did those threads and posts.

Actually it’s worse than this - as the entire thread is gone, including other commenters’ replies.

Hey OP, are you covered by the GDPR or CCPA?

If so perhaps you could ask for a copy of your data that lemmy world has on your former accounts, and report to the regulator if they ignore your request. Not sure if federation helps or hurts - like could you say that lemmy world must have something of your data since other federated servers still have a copy of your content?

Would be nice if there was a way to use the GDPR here to bring some addtional accountability to the lemmy world admins.

Would love to hear more about the ansible way.

Perhaps you could assert a copyright claim to the extent that you own your own modified version of the text of the rules - at least the sockpuppet would have to change the wording.

Reddit’s approach to replacement mod appointments has further damaged community trust in Reddit

Interesting that an article owned by the holding company of reddit (Arstechnica and reddit are both owned by Conde Nast) would be so critical of reddit.

The one thing I never understood is why did the Oliver subs go back to normal instead of sticking with Oliver. Finally, interest was lost in the Oliver jokes and traffic was going down. So it would have been the perfect time to enforce Oliver and cut into the ads traffic that way. News articles at the time didn’t show any indication that this was another moved forced by reddit admins so why did the mods seemingly cave in without cause?

If you check out the modlog, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/modlog you can see that @Shortcake last did some moderation activity six days ago, deleting and blocking stuff from federated user imona at kbin.melroy.org

I think the admins like @ernest wouldn’t do anything at this point, since the mod reappeared somewhat recently to reclaim the mantle. Instead, we need to figure out how to reach out to Shortcake and figure out how to get moderation more active here again.

Hopefully they just haven’t thought about that yet

I’m actually happy to give a vote of confidence in @Shortcake who did a great job moderating this magazine in the beginning.

If that individual would just return to checking this magazine more frequently, I’m happy to leave things as-is.

But if that’s not possible, hopefully Shortcake will appoint someone as a third mod soon so this magazine can get cleaned up. (Speak of - any volunteers?)

Actually, @Shortcake got back to me two days ago and took care of the spam - or so we thought. I’m sending another message now since we’re getting more spam.

I’m wondering if an email was sent out as part of the updates that @ernest and @admin are doing to kbin, which might have grabbed the mods attention here. The lack of email notifications makes it hard to keep up, I’m thinking.

@TheArstaInventor

Should be available for all moderators, owners should atleast have an optional option to enable that.

Seems like a feature request for codeberg, I suppose.

And what happened to the requesting subs function? When is that coming out?

I thought this would have been covered by an existing feature request but I can’t find it on codeberg.

What’s really odd is that I am sub’d to this magazine but I didn’t see this post until I searched for @TheArstaInventor (for an unrelated thing). Getting worried that this magazine is effectively unmoderated, but would be happy to see someone like @TheArstaInventor get added as a third mod here.

This magazine is filling up with spam pretty quick so it is kind of urgent.

@OvergrownSkeleton @ernest

Pretty impressive! Wonder where kbin instances fit in those stats.

Perhaps the one and only time I’d be rooting for reddit…

I don’t believe it’s really over.

Reddark is still reporting 1839 subs are dark.

At least one 1+ million sub is still private, and at least one 10+ million sub is still restricted.

I’m surprised though - I’ve heard arguments that John Oliver was okay with reddit admins, so why the pushback now to drop it?

Try asking in /m/kbinMeta?

I get logged out on occasion but the remember me option works well when i log back in. So FWIW i’m not seeing this myself.

Not the OP redditor but the replying redditor.

Seconded!

Though perhaps the redditor should have mentioned kbin instead of lemmy - that would have totally worked.
