Linus has done a lot for him, that is probably the main thing.

That is fucking horrible… Single dad who lost his wife to gun violence as well.

You have to hand your self-respect in when you register as an influencer.

I imagine a lot of people just browse All, so they’re already there.

Could mean nothing but it’s a bad look to be having talks under NDA. We’ll see how it turns out but I’m glad I never got invested in using Mastodon.

This is the one for me. I just checked and I’ve been using the premium version since May 2016 and it cost me £2.50. Only issue I’ve had in that time is the web player was failing to buffer episodes for streaming, but that has since resolved for me.

Yes, I’ve been using this for a while on my work computer with win11, neat little feature.

The last time I downloaded Linux mint to give it a try was the day before they announced the ISO from the official site had been injected with malicious code. Bad timing for my interest in using Linux, lol.

That sounds pretty good! I wish you luck. Hopefully, more of your community will be up for migrating over time or during whatever the next incident is.

just saying “script reverted it” isn’t going to save you

I feel like this would actually be worse than someone doing it manually, in terms of GDPR.

I doubt Reddit is ever going to check all these comments manually to see if they do or do not contain personally identifiable data. They have to delete this data. The data also doesn’t have to be “hi my name is X and my address is X”, it can be anything that could be potentially identifying, on its own or in combination with other identifying data.

I think it might: https://kbin.social/m/reddit@lemmy.ml/t/34167/Reddit-is-restoring-deleted-posts#entry-comment-141186

Do you have any plans to start redirecting users to your new spot, while keeping the subreddit open?

Thanks, that’s a good point and sets a precedent. I had a reply in another thread with the definition of personal data from GDPR and it would seem to include social media posts:

‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;

Ugh, yes, it’s unfortunate that popularity ruined so many subs. We’ve all watched a tonne of them turn into generic repost mills over the years.

Aged accounts with Karma are worth more apparently, or at least they used to be. Actually, if they still have any value, people should sell their accounts rather than deleting them.

Would this actually be a GDPR breach? I was thinking about the right to erasure/to be forgotten earlier in relation to a post I saw about how your posts aren’t deleted on other federated instances, if you delete them on your home server. But I figured it wasn’t applicable because it’s not personal data and I’m thinking the same about this Reddit issue. Can anyone set me straight?

Absolutely, I agree. Whether or not it is good or successful, I reckon the owners will consider Reddit more marketable to advertisers in a couple of months. The ‘milquetoasting’ of Reddit has been going on for a long old time now but I think they’re close to their endgame.

I would like something like multireddits, a feed that you add certain communities to. That way you can have all of your music content in one music feed, even if the communities are called post-rock, popmusic, funk etc.

I like your idea, maybe there could be default feeds that you then customise or create your own. That would make it easier to get started finding content.

It is still early days so who knows how things will develop.

Reddit has just culled its nerd population.
