If you are not a European citizen you cannot ask for your data to be deleted but you 100% can report a company, in this context Reddit, for not complying with GDPR.
The controller should use all reasonable measures to verify the identity of a data subject
Huge emphasis on reasonable. If by asking me to log in for the sake of verification results in me not being able to delete my data as I’ve demonstrated above, then this is 100% NOT REASONABLE.
They are actively hindering the process that GDPR requires me to take.
I don’t care about the small letters, this is a GDPR violation. I should have an easy way to delete my data and this ain’t it.
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:
- 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.
- 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.
Different subreddits had different rules. In some subs you needed loads of karma to post.
Karma farming was also used to bump up the account so that it could be sold to malicious buyers for propaganda or spam posting purposes.
While it is neat I don’t see it offering a good user experience.
The reason this shouldn’t be in here, in a forum platform, is that if you go to the front page and try to read
new
it keeps bouncing up and down because it’s constantly updating.
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.
where we expected tsipouro but toasted with holy water instead.
This is hilarious.
I remember a classmate of mine and his experience.
His mother, got his water bottle ready for school when he was like 6-7, but instead of water she filled it with raki.
The dude played football in recess and being parched after it, he picked the bottle up and swallowed 3 mouthfulls of it before realizing it was raki.
Obviously he got drunk instantly, the teachers called her and they took him to a hospital for a check-up but thankfully he was ok.
But yeah, this bottle is a trap, especially at 3AM when you don’t think or see and just want gurgle water.
Alkalyon@lemmy.mltoTechnology@beehaw.org•Reddit just auto removed my comment with a link to Lemmy.ml13·2 years agoWe 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/orlemmy
get deleted or the users/subs get outright banned, like /r/redditMigration, which had 2 posts and got banned forspam
.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.
Alkalyon@lemmy.mltoTechnology@beehaw.org•Megathread for Reddit Blackouts and News - Day 2English2·2 years agoYeah 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.
Alkalyon@lemmy.mltoLemmy Support@lemmy.ml•Learning about Lemmy – A Fediverse Version of Reddit2·2 years agoAdditionally to guides, there 100% needs to be an FAQ section somewhere.
The amount of times I can’t find [insert other instance’s community here] when searching for it has been asked is both insane and expected.
Fediverse is new(for most people) and people are confused. An FAQ page would help massively as a first stepping stone when encountering issues.
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.
Yeah it’s confusing, honestly.
It feels like the Prince of Persia game that was announced, to me. As in, the company that made this game, made something vaguely similar and just slapped a known IP’s name on it, for recognition’s and marketing’s sake.
