A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn't even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.

Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.

Just FYI for now. It's late here so I'll see how we proceed tomorrow.

Oh thank God, i first thought that the reddit navy entered Lemmy. i don't care about what happens on reddit, in fact, i'e be happy if they'd harm it.

But: can't mods nuke the subreddit history before they're demoded?

reddit will porobably undelete anything like that anyway

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Yes, but it would cause them extra work. Just say you volunteer to open up again and take the lead, then go for it 🤭

There are two problems with this :

  1. Nuking all this valuable info will waste years and years of people trying to share their knowledge.

  2. Reddit will probably un-delete it.

Isn't Reddit GDPR copliant? Because if they are, they can't simply undelete things without users' permission

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Reddit is also stupid. So no idea.

I don't think comments you made are covered by GDPR. Unless you got personal information in the comment

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

By putting content on Reddit you have agreed to make it theirs.

Don’t know what the GDPR has to do with that. That is about protection of personal data.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Reddit comments are ultimately opinions of the user. Under GDPR, the user has the right to correct information that is wrong. Thus, a user has a right to correct and remove their opinions, and this right supersedes their terms and conditions.

Depends if it's the user that asked for deletion or a mod.

Tell everyone to come here while slowly deleting the content over time from multiple accounts. That should make it harder to restore. Oh and edit what you can instead of just deleting.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Reddit will probably undelete the content. Some former reddit users have reported that all the posts they nuked out of existence was restore a couple days later without their consent.
