I don't think they want that, they have a month before they have to come back with something or you can escalate it to a supervising body. Imagine getting taken to court because redditors flooded your GDPR response process

It not being visible is a relatively recent online phenomenon that I think has lead to some negative feedback loops on social media.

I treat upvotes and downvotes like I used to treat thumbs up, or thanks, or kudos or whatever on much older platforms; a way to say "I agree" or "I disagree" without adding a crap comment that doesn't add to discussion.

If you're using it as a way to vote on what other people get to see that's a reddit thing and this ain't reddit.

Because Reddit got a reputation for being lenient on people who are toxic. I gave up on general, current affairs or regional subs a long time ago it's only smaller communities I'm leaving now.

Think of r/incels or r/The_Donald, r/GenderCritical, r/NoNewNormal etc - and they're the examples from recent, more generally appealing years after the subs named after slurs were nuked. These are the subreddits that got mainstream attention, they may no longer be on Reddit, but their members are, and anyone who would be drawn to them is still signing up, on the other hand lots of people have been turned off the site by those associations. It's not just that there's lots of people joining the site, it's who those people are.

In the same vein it's a really easy site to astroturf and there's no doubt in my mind that the "culture wars" are being stoked there because of it. Because there's a market for aged accounts for use in political astroturfing or general product shilling there are companies running the same shitty repost bots everywhere to produce them. It's a cycle that seems to be getting shorter and shorter.

That is by far the best mod update and explaination I have read yet.

I'm willing to bet that they don't actually know when a sub went private, just whether or not it currently is. I also would not be surprised if the emails are automated but going out in batches to spread the workload dealing with replies.

ActivityPub is the underlying protocol both are built on - it's what allows posts from lemmy to propagate and be interacted with on kbin and mastodon users comment on both via their existing accounts. Think of it as like email protocol but for social media.

It's not great is it? Reasonably we just need less vehicles

I totally get this, the quality of experience on kbin tanked when federation was brought back up because of those instances, I might move over here yet

That article is dirt, it makes wild accusations purely based on not understanding how the Irish legislative process works, or more likely assuming it's readership doesn't. Its not going to do any good here because it reads like something a nutter would put together when you do have at least the gist of the system.

If you actually want to have an impact share things more in line with the iccl statement and if you're Irish talk to your local politician, that noyb article doing the rounds will do nobody any favours.

It's cool to see you here! Thanks for giving the full story. I still don't agree with the decision to open up against the community's wishes but I am glad that you chose to step back rather than being pushed to. I know the discord is there and I see people starting to come together on kbin/lemmy too so I hope we get a positive space in line with the ethics many of us share again soon.

There's conservative gays and self hating gays and guess what, they're the same gays. Imagine the mod of gaming was Bobby Kotick, sure, he's gamed, his gaming CV is a lot more interesting than most, but is he really the person you want shaping the discourse around gaming?

The GDPR itself doesn't use the term organisation, it refers to data controllers and data processors.

A “data controller” refers to a person, company, or other body which decides the purposes and methods of processing personal data.

A “data processor” refers to a person, company, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of a data controller.

As someone from within the EU working in data the fediverse is absolutely not a long way off having to consider this, GDPR impacts even the smallest businesses or voluntary groups - it's just how we handle data.

To make it easier to grasp GDPR is about your rights over your data, those don't change depending on who is processing it, nor does the processors obligation, however what would be considered appropriate safeguards would scale with the size and intent of your organisation - it would be silly for my local shop to have a data protection officer.

I suppose the question would become who is the controller, is it the person who provides the software or the person who provides the servers? Typically it's the servers.

New response just dropped

Yes, we're seeing the same chart. Now add a bicycle, or replace 60 stupid little Tesla's with a bus.

We are not at a point where electric car ownership is a viable solution, we're at least 20 years too late. Even the manufacturing cost us too great.

Oh I had, and I was all the better for it!

I don't know what OP used but I used Power Delete Suite

A lot of the time they're niche specific, I would have found out about a lot of smaller sites from reddit and then just switched to searching them directly once I had a better understanding.

e.g. every second post in retro games subs was always "how much is this worth" and the answer is use pricecharting.com, analog camera subs or analog repair invariably reference butkus, there's heaps of small archives, wikis and old community forums out there for anything you can imagine.

If there's specific niches you're interested in maybe ask in those forums here, they might be able to point you somewhere.

Yes, build the damn infrastructure, now. It's not about perfect it's about working toward a minimum viable output and electric cars miss that mark.

It's not enough. Cutting transport emissions by two thirds is simply not enough. We can change planning now to make it hurt slightly less when we have to get rid of cars or we can continue the current path and leave a load of people stranded when the rug gets pulled, which do you think sounds better?

I assume they moved there after the first model t rolled off the production line. Over 80% of the world don't have a car, there is significant overlap with rural people in that.

As I have already said, improve infrastructure, improve public transport, get off your lazy arse and walk more then 5 seconds from your front door.

You don't say you're American but it's so obvious you are, being incapable of functioning without a car isn't normal it's kind of pathetic

I don't think accessibility is particularly good anywhere, but when software is open source, or failing that APIs free, people take things into their own hands and make it good. I read this in that context, even the fact Reddit would meet with community representatives rather than ask an "expert" is better than a lot of companies, though you would by the outcome if that is genuine or for optics.

Oh for sure, I've already purged my accounts and I've no interest in going back, it's disappointing though, the same happened to r/emulation but I'm less mad about that, that's an open source community that dodgy people try to make money off, I'd prefer it be anti community than an outright scam which could reasonably happen if one of the more nefarious app devs had a chance to request it as an inactive forum.

You misunderstand the use of quotations here, they're air quotes. Reddit has already met with an "expert" - the mods at r/blind would like them to meet with an accredited professional.

No country in the EU is a totalitarian dictatorship either we've worked out busses and footpaths, it's not hard, your cities and counties still have planning offices, public servants decide these things. It makes little difference to the cost or scope of projects to design things so people can use them.

I think you're grossly underestimating how expensive dragging your heels on climate is going to be for everyone. Changing infrastructure now is cheap in comparison. Your economy is going to be fucked by climate change regardless of what china does, there is no prisoners dilemma.

Poor Inbred!

I use blacknight.com their support is unreasonably good, plus they're local to me.

@admiralteal you're right! It's already happened, I'll check periodically to be safe

Some have also polled their userbase elsewhere, the Retro Gaming Network, which represents about 70 subs, polled on Discord - they're currently 492 to 55 to extend the blackout indefinitely. I've just looked at Reddark now and the only sub that's included from those 70 is r/retrogaming, so add 69 more to the 6250 currently dark.

I never said we need to be perfect, you're dismissing the argument to save your feelings.

I said we need to drive less. It's not hard, it's not perfect, and it's the centre of most European planning efforts to mitigate climate change.

Electric cars are and industry solution to an industry problem, they're not a reasonable response to climate change

This is the most straightforward

Yes, those are the two sole options, cars and genocide. Fucking idiot. Have you heard of a bus?

Which bit was bigoted? Reality?

@Quizmo This account has some useful posts for people from my country accessing healthcare, I'm going to copy them to a suitable wiki, everything else is going for good!

@SomeoneElse I used Power Delete Suite, it appears to have an option to overwrite instead of straight deleting though it sounds like some forums have got wind of it! https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite/

Most of it is contained to specific forums, there's just more than one across a few instances, RedditMigration on Kbin is another.

The more time I spend here the more I'm realising blocking communities/magazines is as much a key to a good experience as subscribing to them, of not more.

It'll all die down anyway, to a degree there's just a lot of people here who just arrived from reddit. I'd avoid blocking the word itself as the wave will pass plus it's being used as a comparison in meta threads about features and UI and you might find you want to see those conversations.

It's a link aggregator, people will see more relevant news by going to their local media outlets website, I don't see this as a valid reason not to go dark.

Some analysts are waiting to see a withdrawal before they actually believe one is happening.
