Definitely agree with the sentiment in the comment.
Though, how ironic is it that this post might as well have been generated by a bot?
Literally a screenshot of a comment without attribution and with an account 2 hours old...
It’s almost like loudly announcing contempt for your userbase is not good for a website where virtually 100% of their value is derived from the loyalty of their users
I went with explicitly mentioning my right to erasure under GDPR and how you can absolutely identify me via my account. Really interested if they undelete as I'll be complaining to the ICO.
If I remember right, ABP is the one that was taking payments from companies to let through their advertisements. Ublock origin is free and open source and doesn't have any of that.
@Kill_joy I'm just waiting for my data export to come through (it's been over a week since I requested it), then I'll submit a GDPR deletion request – any other way of deleting only hides the data from the web, but it remains in their databases.
Same, anyone reading here can do a GDPR data request using this link, but you should probably wait for the export to come through to delete your account:
This is supposedly expensive to compile, and they'll get hefty fines if they don't follow through.
Agreed. This is way more fun. More people respond and it feels nice to be a pioneer again. It’s fun to watch people figure shit out and design solutions to new problems.
I suspect that I'm amongst the majority here in that I still use reddit as well as Kbin - at present the fediverse front ends just need time to introduce features to make them more usable.
I don't think it's a question of enough people ditching Reddit, but just enough to create and/or provide quality content.
And really that doesn't matter as much as participating in a platform that's free of all the BS Reddit evolved into. Fediverse has a platform free of almost everything long term Redditors came to hate.
If you're expecting everyone to leave Reddit, you're going to be disappointed. Most Reddit users do. Not. Care. They'll stay for as long as Reddit entertains them.
The Twitter migration was actually a really great thing for the Fediverse. It diversified Mastodon, and made it an actually lively space. It's still a nerdy space, but it's so much more than it was. It's a genuinely general and engaging microblogging space. And while, yes, it doesn't have everything that draws the Twitter clout chasers, celebrity watchers, and journalists or politicians, it's a viable alternative for people who are looking to actually engage with each other.
The same is true here, and will be true after tomorrow.
Part of me feels like it's the subreddits fault. There should've been rules against articles/tweets that aren't timestamped. Specifically for reason of ensuring relevance
This was definitely a thing long before the blackout
