News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Reddit doesn't allow you to delete comments in communities you can't access, which means they can come back when the community is unprivated. This is completely against the GDPR, since they provide no other way for you to delete your comments. And if you are banned, you won't even be able to access your comment history to delete them.
The reason nothing happens is because no one is going to unite under a class action lawsuit to make it happen, and when all is said and done EU politicians don't really listen to these complaints. Try getting in contact with Margrethe Vestager, but don't expect a reply, even though they had no problem doing an interview and Q&A with Reddit Talk under pluralism activists like Akaash Maharaj who let themselves get compromised by reddit's NFT confidence scam. At the end of the day, they'll still maintain their Twitter and Reddit accounts while only paying lip service to the fediverse and ignoring GDPR violations they could themselves claim if they were so interested.
Is it really a GDPR violation if no article 17 request was sent AND those comments contain no PII? PII is the key for GDPR, your "IP"/contribution to Reddit means nothing

Read it and weep, it's not just PII, it's PD. Sort of why it's called "Right to be Forgotten".

“Personal data” shall mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person Even pseudonymised data falls under it,
Yes strong protection will make me cry so hard.
If my reddit comments are helping troubleshoot something technical and unrelated to me, that still isn't personal data. Valuable comments will be available on reddit and generating them traffic from Google searches regardless of how much people here scream about GDPR.
In other words, you didn't read the links. Here is another one from actual lawyers who actually know the law and do actually prosecute for it:

I'm sorry, but outside of the US, you don't get a free pass to be shitty. It will still require money and effort to bring to court, however.
Not American. You misunderstand the concept of "personal".
Edit: also it doesn't really matter if you are in the US (or where you are at all). If you deal with European customers (their data) you have to obey GDPR. That's why some sites have opted to simply block European visitors.
Tell your people/alts to distribute their downvotes further up the branch, they look as ridiculous as your inability to understand evidence even when directly presented with it. It's sort of funny to not even have them show up on kbin, I imagine it might be some misguided attempt at obfuscating, although the positive upvotes from accounts with zero comments or activity in old deep threaded content tell me enough. Man I love the transparency in contrast to reddit 😀
Whatever makes you feel better. Keep screaming GDPR at everything...
Hey, at least I don't need fake alts, comes with being right.
