GDPR applies to people in European Economic Area whose data is used by companies,

I am in Greece. I am protected by GDPR.

I have already sent a GDPR request to Reddit and they refuse to comply.

I asked them to delete everything they have about me, including my account and they told me that I need to login into reddit and ask it from there which:

1. I don’t have to since GDPR says that I can even do it verbally and I don’t even have to write to a specific email, I can just let any employee of that company that I want this and they should honor it.
2. They straight up don’t even have the option to delete your data there, since I requested for the complete erasure of my data as that is also in my rights.

Reddit literally refuses to comply with GDPR rules and tonight after work I am going to lodge a formal complain about GDPR violations as I do have proof of this in my emails.

Fuck Reddit I hope it crashes and burns.

It’s also the reason I don’t play No Man’s Sky(apart from the bait and switch launch).

People don’t play Bethesda games because they are good sims but because they are good RPGs.

If they pivot to a sim/building type game then I don’t think people will like it.

This comment is incorrect as well.

The people that cared left and what’s left behind is people that wouldn’t leave anyway and the strike only bothers them.

This person is living in a bubble and can’t see further than their nose.

We need to document this and make sure everyone knows what reddit is doing.

There’s been a lot of posts both here and on reddit saying that mentions of kbin and/or lemmy get deleted or the users/subs get outright banned, like /r/redditMigration, which had 2 posts and got banned for spam.

Regardless of the outcome of the strike, Reddit already has died. The users that matter won’t go back. The users that stay will be media and a large pool of lurkers with no value to the community.

Reddit as we knew it, already died.

Reddit has been banning users and/or communities that redirect others to Lemmy.

Yeah the non-commercial part just destroys the entire announcement. Mods could just use a community made bot that they bought for like $5 and be done with it.

Since this will be now against the ToS, no one will be bothered to develop these tools for free, to move around.

This is a worthless post.

These and others are why you’re finding me with you here in the fediverse.

I’ve been here for a week and it already feels like home!

Squabbles

Isn’t this developed by one person, isn’t open source and forbids NSFW in general? That is never going to go well.

Tildes

No mobile app and no ActivityPub so it’s a very specialised. Additionally I don’t like the UI at all and I’ve read this in multiple threads here as well.

Lemmy + Kbin

Both are show the same content as they are federated so it’s up to who prefers what really. I prefer Lemmy, but anything is fine.

This is completely wrong.

You think allowing users to express their opinions is wrong contrary to gathering people of one opinion only?

I don’t think there is a further point to be made in here.

Regardless of the outcome, I hope Reddit’s recent decisions turn in /r/leopardsatemyface.

mainstream media will discover Lemmy exists.

Mainstream media will 100% catch up more by the reveal of Meta’s Twitter alternative that implements the ActivityPub protocol.

Why would I bash against Nintendo?

People like to bash Nintendo because of them going legally against fans that decide to revive older games that no longer available to be played using legal and/or official means.

This is really a gray area and people agree/disagree on this.

If for example OOT is not able to be played at all but a dude hacks the code and puts it on an emulator, then is that wrong or not?

Legally it’s wrong, but there’s an argument to be made that since Nintendo doesn’t offer this game, technically their are not losing profit.

Ultimately it’s a totally gray area and civil discussion on the topic should be welcomed and not suppressed, ever.

Every place is the wrong place to ask this question.

Putting a label or asking a community to reveal their manifesto is not a good look or how conversations should be started.

The correct thing to do is participate in communities you seem to like and if you find out that you don’t agree with that community on one or more fronts, then by all means, please create a new instance and/or community on your own and run it according to your preferences. This is the intended purpose of the fediverse: If you don’t like it, do it better by yourself.

I wish to hear all opinions in here by all kinds of people.

I wish to hear the worst and the best arguments on a topic.

Doing what you ask, as in join a pro-Nintendo community will 100% have a bad outcome since it will, by definition, be an echo chamber.

I really hope this isn’t the case here.

Wait. You really hope an entire collection of instances and, furthermore, the entire collection of communities within each instance, will have the same exact opinion, of -at the moment- being pro-Nintendo.

You really must be joking right?

There is absolutely 0 chance you will find one opinion spread among an entire community, let alone here in the Fediverse where it’s multiple communities.

Each person has their own opinion and/or agenda and that’s the best part. I really hope this side of the entire continues to not be able to be labeled a singular thing since that is immoral and outright incorrect, on all fronts.

So to answer your question: Who knows? To each(user) their own.

Apparently they had a falling out or something because there a similar post by the tankie including screenshots and proof that the dude that posted the above is lying.

I don’t wanna start my experience by listening to someone else to be honest so I will decide for myself what is better for me.

And up until now lemmy has had a better experience for me than kbin social. Additionally I think kbin isn’t open to signups anymore from what people are saying.

I have been using lemmy for more than a week now and have also talked with the dev/admin both regarding communities and on GitHub for a pull request I did. The experience was good and for now I will be staying here.

I also don’t like the look of kbin and the ux for now.

I have an account in mastodon, kbin, tildes, raddle and lemmy and out of all, lemmy seemed to work the best for me, for now.

I don’t expect a huge difference to be honest.

It still has the same issues as Lemmy. Here I just pressed save on my settings.

Going dark won’t change anything,

In the /r/apollodev post there is a section with all the info of the latest call they had before shit hit the fan.

In that, Reddit said that “[Reddit] is open to discussion, if moderators promise to keep subreddits open”, so personally, I don’t think it won’t change anything.

As for what, we have yet to see.

https://shreddit.com/

Yes.

I managed to get in because apparently now it’s invitation only but I still MUCH prefer lemmy.

Mostly because everyone is moving towards ActivityPub and Tildes isn’t.
