Thank you for the more thorough explanation, I’m from the US and not used to these kind of sweeping consumer protection laws lol. Does that mean Lemmy is also in violation? Does deleting a post on my home instance notify federated instances to delete it as well?
Ok? I haven’t discussed this before.
I find it hard to believe a court would decide that a post someone intentionally made to a public forum could be considered private information after the fact. But I suppose I’m not vary familiar with the wording of GDPR. It feels a bit like someone giving away business cards with a phone number, and being upset that people don’t return them when you ask months later. Obviously it is scummy for reddit to not delete content when requested, but that doesn’t seem to be the sort of thing the law is targeted towards
as much as I’m sick of reddit, posts and comments are not PII
It wouldn’t be LemOn party without him!
Would solve a lot of reddits problems to take that approach
I don’t think that’s true. Obviously we all think like that which is why we’re here, but most people are still on reddit/twitter because they don’t care about any of that, they only care about the content/experience
whats the point of any of this if nobody uses it? Really don’t understand everyone’s aversion to a community having people in it
While I’m not a fan of meta, this would probably bring a lot more, less technical users to the fediverse
Those numbers hardly describe a “plunge”. Much lower impact than I had hoped honestly
