I just got my data takeout request granted (110 MB) yesterday, so time to follow up with a GDPR request to then nuke everything. It’s the only way to make sure.
How can I do the same thing?
How did you place the takeout request? Would like to do the same thing.
Here’s a link to it.
Thank you! just placed my request.
And this is how I find out that my permanent suspension from Reddit- no reason given- from last week has magically reversed itself. Too late now. Fuck them.
thank you!
How did they send it out to you, via message or email.
I submitted my gdpr a couple weeks ago, but my accounts all used temp emails that I can’t access anymore so I wouldn’t get it if they sent it there.
The normal data export request gives you a pm with a link with an expiration date.
My data takeout request was a download URL delivered by a message. I can’t submit a GDPR request yet since Reddit allows you one request per 30 days.
I’m still waiting. How long did it take for you?
About 3 weeks I think.
I didn’t get any! I got it for the Private sub before. I demand my blackmail from modcodeofconduct. I should send some “FuckYouSpezs” around and see what happens. If anyone from Reddit monitors this, the sub in question is /r/mushing
I hope they like their strict editorial control they’re enforcing… I’m sure that doesn’t do anything to affect their Section 230 protections.
I’m always between 2 perspectives, one side says to just make their wish come true and allows them to bring paid workers to do the mod work. But then comes the other one that says, there is always someone to want that 15 minutes of glory/power or whatever and will do all the stuff for free.
In either case I think it’s not an easy job, and any side will affect Reddit, at least in the short time, people tends to go with the flow, and unless big “old” players (As Sync, Boost, Apollo) or “new” players ( Jerboa, Connect, Memmy) makes other alternatives as easy as it was Reddit, they will stay there.
For instance for me, not been in a centralized server raise questions like where to check in in a community like Aww, Pics, Comics, why there is world, ml or XYZ instances, what’s going on … So, for non tech people all of this will be as intimidating as it was for me, I think.
The final warning was enough to cause the moderators for r/Military—a forum partly devoted to helping veterans—to stop operating as a NSFW subreddit. “We are now stuck in a difficult position as we do not want the community to die,” the moderator team wrote.
Cowards.
Did you wear the uniform? What are you doing to help prevent the 22 suicides a day among our service members?
This is what the military subs have had to weigh when making these calls.
What’s the MILITARY doing to prevent the 22 suicides a day?
Not enough. Still too much stigma attached to behavioral health.
That’s why there is so much need for additional support from elsewhere.
So it’s everyone else’s responsibility to protect people subjected to Israeli wars by the lapdog US government?
I did not, although my father did. It’s pretty grandiose to claim that a subreddit is helping prevent military suicides.
They can pack it up and move here where they won’t be pushed around like pawns. It’s be pretty easy to leave instructions on how to migrate.
I have met people who was in the service enough to know the struggle is real.
It’s just hard to believe that they depend on Reddit for their support system.
Unfortunately if they are US service personnel this would not be hard to believe at all.
Why only US?
Presumably other countries actually give a fuck about helping their soldiers.
That is a false presumption. Overall compared to most countries the VA is not bad
Most countries that don’t have universal health care, you mean.

Another thing I never see anyone in US is talking about: If US veterans need so much help (and they really do), what is happening to people in counties they were fighting against? And those are not only soldiers, but whole families. Everyone ober there has witnessed same shit they did, kids, elders, moms…
“Developed” countries see “undeveloped” countries (or whatever euphemism you want to use) as Others. We may be the target of their charity or of their pity sometimes, but we remain a mysterious monolith. I’m reminded of that whenever someone says “The US is [generally something bad] among developed countries”.
I’m not angry about it. I get it. I still wish it wasn’t that way.
As trivia, at least one “undeveloped” country has universal healthcare.
Least ignorant Redditor.
How does that compare to Lemmywinkers?
Did you wear the uniform?
Yes, did you?
Nope, just a civilian, but married to a career Soldier.

I mean, they’ve got their priorities right. It’s reddit’s fault that they’re killing their own communities. We should try to reach out in subs like this and help them set up on lemmy.
I dont know what everyone was expecting. Enduring nonsensical rules, shitty working conditions and incompetent authority figures is about the most military thing there is.
Fr. Surprises me that military personnel of all people would be so fragile. Don’t give in. Post “hey we’re moving to Lemmy, see you there” and fucking go. It’s 2023 going to a new site is the easiest thing in the world, it’s not like 1999 where most of the forum would have difficulty doing that…
I don’t think that’s fair. People can come here if they want. They can hate Reddit if they want. Let’s not demonize communities that decided to reopen is best for their community. It doesn’t need to be some judgement “Fuck everyone who didn’t come to here”.
It’s cowardly to make a stand against the admins and then just roll over when they tell you to sit down and shut up. Doesn’t matter if it’s Reddit or anywhere else.
Agreed. I’m actually really enjoying the filter right now. I mean, I want reddit to fall apart too, but I am more interested in lemmy succeeding, and they are different wants.
That’s fair. It still makes them cowards though, word definitions don’t change because we want harmony.
Tell the Huff that he can take that final warning and shove it up his ass!
Honestly, this whole reddit thing is not even that interesting watching from the sidelines. It’s good for the occasional chuckle though.
So let the admins have to figure out new mods for all these huge subs. It’ll be a shit show. Either they’ll have to pay internal people or they’ll get people that can’t mod for shit.
reddit is transforming itself from a social media platform into a history lesson at this point. I’d say don’t feel guilty if you still browse reddit at all, but don’t be shocked when it’s gone either.
the attitude and behavior of the company towards the community is what’s going to finish it off more than anything.
there’s so other ways they could’ve monetized reddit without causing all this, but they seem hell bent on being obtuse. to that, i shrug and move on.
“We are now stuck in a difficult position as we do not want the community to die”
Feels to me like they dug their own grave and now complain that the user’s are problem.
What are they expecting after they remove moderators and remove the nsfw status? That the users keep posting? They aren’t dumb and I could imagine that some or most people will probably stop posting there.
Yes
Why? Why would you want something you love to continue to exist on a platform that sees you as nothing more than free labor.
People are wayyyy to attached to thier social media identies… I’m like a rat on a ship… any signs of trouble I’m overboard to the next vessel.
I understand the veterans subreddit. While I never went to that sub, I assume it’s a good place for veterans to come and help and support each other.
But the others like Pics or TIHI etc…yeah I’m with you on that.
Oh no, people are quite dumb. There’s a lot still that are unaware or just don’t care about the drama. I’d wager those people are the ones still on Reddit.
How does that make them dumb? If anything, the fact that they’re indifferent to it just means they have other priorities in life.
TPA users were like 3% of the site, dude.
Pretty sure that quote was from the mods of that subreddit, not the reddit admins.
They think people are there because they love the site. They forgot they love the site because of the content and community. Reddit management dug their grave and jumped in it.
There is a whole set of users who apparently think the mods are in the wrong and that Reddit is right. Whether these are real users, and not armies of bots using ChatGPT to generate content, is up for debate. (But they’re definitely bots lol)
I very much fear there’s a lot of real people. Ones that act like asses and get banned from dozens of subs, then complain about mods being dictators or something. Others who think anyone can be a mod and they’re throwing a “”“temper tantrum”””. Others that think it’s just about losing apps with no ads.
It’s full of people who don’t understand, and don’t want to understand the extent of the problem, and I really doubt it’s all AI unless they’re actively giving prompts like “make a comment against the protest, but in the most entitled way possible”.
The admins were also deleting comments. I had at least a few disappear without explanation or notice. Could be many more, I have no way of even knowing.
Generic moderators on lemmy can also delete comments without us getting an alert or information about who did it. Hard to challenge things like this, but at least we can check the modlog. You would only know its deleted because you check the thread where you posted it(unless I’m mistaken).
Honest question: Where are these people? I’ve never seen someone go to bat for Reddit the way you describe.
I’ve mostly seen it in r/ModCoord, where a lot of discussion around Reddit protests goes down. Lately I think the mods there have been trying to stop it, but it definitely shows. These are the ones I assume are bots, or at least some of them, judging by the way they argue.
The other random place I saw it was r/PokemonROMHacks when it reopened. People there were super critical of the mods, and I think it’s mostly because they aren’t users who normally use reddit and are only there to try to download and troubleshoot Pokemon hacks. To them, the mods making the sub private seemed incredibly selfish.
Some people I seen against the protests weren’t mods but users who like it’s futile and use the official app
For me I would agree with them but for me Apollo had a good thing going and all the lying and fun stuff whether it’s true or not is what drove me away
What are they expecting after they remove moderators and remove the nsfw status? That the users keep posting?
Seems like they’re thinking exactly that. However, I expect many communities (especially niche communities) to revolt and start spamming unrelated content and straight up porn (or worse – gore). The current mechanism is to replace the mods with supermods (aka the ones who moderate over 100 communities or something) but I wonder if they will be able to effectively moderate that shit without going private.
It’s quite hard to guess what will damage reddit the most. I hope that many niche communities collapse and migrate, but the issue also lies in mainstream communities. One thing is NonCredibleDefence moving. Another thing is stuff like r/manga (which went for a blackout but didn’t do much beside it).
Lemmy is good, I hope more people move here, but so far it’s gonna be reliant on migrants from reddit and possibly twitter, which is not exactly a good plan

I literally only use Reddit for porn, and whilst Relay was working and still is, I get a warning that this isn’t possible unless I use the official app, or the website… All my mobile usage from Reddit has pretty much disappeared.
They should have back tracked, but doubling down is a death sentence for me. They can keep having posts, but 99% of them are already reposts from other sites - Reddit as a whole may as well be a combined Facebook style echo chamber and Tik Tok archive, because these days it doesn’t feel like it’s much else.

People still use Reddit?
The grand majority of reddit users have more in common with tictok users than forum users. The lowest common denominator is the biggest user base.
They doom scroll and satisfy their addiction, many are kids, they really don’t really care about information manipulation, quality content, discussion quality…etc
So they will stay, and the niche groups, those that care and contribute in quality ways, tend to be pushed out.
I think it sure is interesting that data vampires exist but that they also don’t care about the quality of their food.
I bet there are hundreds or maybe thousands of these data vampires on here right now scrolling and searching for the text and image based content they use to sustain themselves.
They live amongst us.
edit: this is not sarcastic, but playful
They don’t know what good food tastes like, so they are content.
Just bots trying to prove the dead internet theory is real.
What is this? The Final Final Final Final Last Warning before the Last Final Final Final Final Last Final Warning?
