Here you go:
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.
I just realized Lemmy upvote/downvote colors are the opposite of Reddit. Good easter egg.
Upvotes are blue and downvotes are orange.
I love this details, didn't realize before.
where we expected tsipouro but toasted with holy water instead.
This is hilarious.
Προειδοποιούν για κινδύνους που διατρέχει η υγεία και η ασφάλειά τους, από τον τεράστιο όγκο δουλειάς και ανυπόμονους πελάτες, λόγω της αποψίλωσης του ανθρώπινου δυναμικού.
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.
We 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/or lemmy get deleted or the users/subs get outright banned, like /r/redditMigration, which had 2 posts and got banned for spam.
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.
New error when logging into lemmy.ml only.
I've added 3 accounts to the app and 2 work fine. My lemmy.ml account returns Value <html> of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONObject and since this only happens in the lemmy.ml instance I can assume its server related.
I am, however, able to use the webapp with this account just fine and lemmy responds relatively fast.
Anyone experienced something similar?
Yeah 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.
Additionally 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.
And in the web app, above the comment it says Show context.
They need to have a post in the community, go into the post click the 3 dots and appoint them as a mod.
Notes from the Starfield showcase.
I just typed out a few notes during the showcase so I will put them here for discussion.
- There are over 1000 world. These are procedurally generated but have handcrafted content placed randomly on them.
- Every you see exists and all planetary objects can be visited.
- Illumination is changing based on the atmosphere and the sun type/proximity.
- Animation system and combat system has been reworked from the ground up.
- You can play in 1st or 3rd person.
- Resources exist and are collectable
- You can find enemy camps on planets and/or other random things/locations.
- You can fast travel to your ship.
- You can have companions that aid you on the ship or on ground.
- Visual style for the tech was called by devs as Nasa-Punk as in advanced but worn
- You can choose landing spots on a planet or fast travel to an existing one.
- You jump drive to other systems and can upgrade drive for longer jumps.
New Atlantisis the biggest city Bethesda ever created. There are more cities:- Akila city: Western style. Looked like RDR2.
- Cydonia city: Mining city built for resources.
- Neon: Known as Pleasure city. Cyberpunk style.
- There is a mythical group called Constellation. They are the last explorers of humanity and are looking for answers to long lasting humanity's questions. Your main story revolves around them I think.
- Character creation is vastly improved and it's extensive. Mocap used for the making.
- You choose one of 40 (employee) presets and then put more details from there.
- You choose your background and skills. Chef was an example. Your skills affect interactions in the game.
- You can have up to 3 traits and each has pros and cons.
- You get 1 skill per level and you can rank up skills.
- 5 skill trees with 4 ranks per skill. Jetpack, mind-control and Neurostrikes(heavy strikes) shown. Great build diversity.
- They studied data from NASA to strike balance between realism and fun.
- There is dogfighting in space
- Ships are highly customizable and upgradable down to rearranging modules around.
- Can hire crew members with different skills
- Ship has a power allocation system(think of an Equalizer style thingie). You can reallocate power according to situation. Shields and weapons for combat or engine for escaping, etc.
- There's a trait that lets you target specific subsystems on an enemy ship.
- You can destroy ships and loot them or board them and capture them for your fleet.
- You can commit piracy on friendly ships.
- You can build a outpost and produce resources from animals.
- You can build outposts, assign companions to them and keep producing resources. You can decorate outposts and live there.
- Guns are highly customizable down to type of ammo. Melee weapons exist. Miniguns shown.
- Gravity changes with each planet.
- Firing in 0g can push you back.
- Photo mode exists.
Please feel free to add any details I missed.
edit: Here is the full showcase(45 minutes) for people who want to watch it.
Καλως ήρθατε στο /c/greece | Welcome to /c/greece
Μιας και δεν υπάρχει κάποια ενεργή κοινότητα σχετικά με την Ελλάδα και τα νέα περι αυτής στο fediverse, είπα να κάνω την αρχή.
Ευπρόσδεκτο όλων των ειδών το περιεχόμενο αρκεί να τηρεί του κανόνες του Instance και του Community.

Creating account on different instances and the effects.
tl:dr at the end.
I am one of the many people that were active in Reddit but I am also one of the ones that is going to delete their Reddit account on the 12th of June and move to Lemmy(Fediverse) full time.
I have encountered a specific issue though which I am not sure how to solve.
I wanted to create the equivalent community of /r/greece here, but I can see that the /c/greece is already existent but moderated by a user that is now banned, so that community is in limbo. People recommended 2 things:
- Request the community in [email protected]
- Create a new
/c/greececommunity in another instance.
I have encountered an issue with both of these solutions.
For the 1st solution, I created a request post 2 days ago which went unanswered(either accepted/declined) while other posts after and before mine, have been answered/resolved. I can understand there has been an increase in users and Dessalines can't administrate/moderate everything on their own but I can see that there are multiple Admins in lemmy.ml and I believe they should be doing something or step down and appoint other people there that want to do it. I have since, recreated the same request post in hopes that I can get the community and bring it to fruition.
For the 2nd solution, I had created the /c/greece community in @lemmy.world but the problem is, that by going there I cannot find any community using the search functionality. I have 2 windows open, one logged into lemmy.ml and one in lemmy.world and when searching the same term, lemmy.world brings massively fewer results for communities so even if I wanted to use my account on lemmy.world I would have to use another instance to even FIND new communities. I am not sure why the reduced number of results but I guess there is an admin setting there that allows for federation with fewer instances.
TL:DR Why is the searching for communities so vastly different between instances and how can users overcome it to discover new communities?
Requesting /c/greece
Having migrated here from reddit I thought about bringing life to a Greek community here in lemmy.ml.
Unfortunately, there is a single moderator that has already taken /c/greece, /c/greek and other similar once but have since been flagged as banned.
I would like to take over /c/greece and move it forward, instead of leaving it to rot in limbo as the moderator cannot be interacted with.
Here is a post of mine inside the community to help @[email protected] with the process.
Πρώτη μέρα στο /c/greece
Για όποιον τύχει και δεί το παρόν post ας γράψει τι σκέφτεται, πως του φαίνεται η πλατφόρμα και οτι άλλο θέλει, μιας και φαίνεται να γίνετια μαζική έξοδος απο το reddit και θα μπορούσε να υπάρχει εδώ, στο fediverse ένα εναλλακτικό community για τους Έλληνες.
Μεγάλα κενά καταγράφονται σε τουρισμό, επισιτισμό, κατασκευές και βιομηχανία. Πόσα αιτήματα έχουν υποβάλει οι εργοδότες, ποιες ειδικότητες αφορούν
Take over community from solitary mods that have been banned
Being a newcomer and seeing as there is an increased amount of users migrating from reddit I wanted to see if there is one, or create a community.
I have found that the community going by country name, has only one user, one mod and that mod is flagged as banned.
Additionally, they are the sole moderator of similar communities by name as to somewhat gatekeep them, I supposed.
What is the course of action from freeing up these communities? Or is it just better to create a new one in another instance and be done with it?
The move is the result of the EU's Omnibus Directive, also known as the Enforcement and Modernisation Directive, which is designed to strengthen consumer protection.
