Yet another reason to be annoyed about Brexit
If you federate with Threads, dont Meta have that federated user and content data cached on their servers? Producing content outside of Threads and posting it to Threads still gives them content, and information about you. Much like how people without Facebook accounts still have shadow profiles from being featured in Facebook users’ pictures and posts. The only solution seems to be (though maybe I misunderstand) not to federate or engage with Threads servers. This would be too philosophical a point for the vast majority of Internet, and especially ex-Twitter, users. Mastodon instances would have to explicitly defederate which could kill their userbase if the traffic flows to Threads, which it did in a matter of hours.
I didn’t see this until just now! No notification outside of the app, my inbox inside the app got a (1) unread icon when I refreshed earlier.
Is there a /c/nothowgirlswork yet…?
Notifications have been very spotty for me on Jerboa (not tried the others) but they are implemented. Just not always effectual for some reason.
I’m not sure they’re 100% GDPR compliant on their approach to user account & data deletion tbh. But I’m not sure and I’m not a lawyer or anything.
Basically their approach to deletion is (or at least, was) that you can ask them to deactivate your account. After this, it cannot be reactivated, your username is unavailable. However, if you want all your comments/content to be deleted, you have to go through and do it manually (this would take me months, personally…) before deactivating your account. If you deactivated your account already, your data and content is still there and you can’t go back and delete it (your comments and posts are now disassociated from your dead username). Admins can’t reopen your account and can’t (or won’t) delete it themselves.
This would theoretically be sort of okay, but what we’re seeing is that your manual comment/post deletion must only be a ‘soft delete’ because admins can clearly restore your deleted or modified comments. I’m unsure if they would be able to do this whether you deactivate your account or not - I can’t remember if those who have had this happen deleted their accounts before the posts were changed back. However I’m not sure if there’s anything more they would do to actually delete your user data if you email legal@reddit.com with a specific GDPR request under art 17 (right to be forgotten). I can’t find that online quickly.
I think this would only apply if you are an EU or UK citizen? If you’re Californian you could refer to CCPA regulation. A couple other states have different privacy laws too that may help but they’re all different. It may be worth posting on a Privacy or legaladvice community on here to ask what Reddit’s approach is and if it holds up.
They’re absolutely teeny as well. I wish we had more of them here in the UK. Goldcrests are still wonderful too, though, and they’re more common.
It’s a bit annoying, but I think (someone correct me if I’m wrong!) you would need to paste the link to the kbin communities you want to join or interact with into your lemmy instance (e.g. lemmy.world, lemmy.ml) in the format of !communityname@kbin.social (with the exclamation mark) to see that community as the federated cached version available to your instance. You can then subscribe to the community while viewing that way to see it in your feed going forward. This works best on desktop, or desktop view in a mobile browser.
But yeah ideally links in lemmy would link to the ! link if available, and not the /c/ link so that you stay in your logged-in environment.
Yeah, as expected really (unfortunately). Idk what the right response to that is as a moderator, other tham permanently going dark. If there’s 0 negotiation on the cards, I anticipate some subreddits who just signed up for the confined 48h to support 3PAs and who are less concerned about mod bot functioning/3PA power users leaving and have more casual human moderation will just return though. Depends how they feel about the direction of the site’s popularity vs alternatives ig?
Try typing it as !gunners@lemmy.world into the search bar of feddit.uk on your mobile browser and subscribe via the sidebar?
? It was a 48h protest. So yes they’re still dark on the 13th. They were scheduled to return tomorrow, on the 14th (and some were thinking about staying dark for longer, depending on reddit’s response).
Maybe I am being pessimistic, but asking volunteer reddit mods to drop tools for more than 48h during such an interesting time for the platform is feeling about as realistic as asking your alcoholic uncle to stay sober at a wedding reception with an open bar. Can they really stay away?
I didn’t know about kbin before making a Lemmy account, and Lemmy is the one being spread around Reddit as an alternative site. It then only comes up through an occasional comment on certain communities (meta ones) that the Lemmy devs hold particular views, it’s easy to browse a lot of content without finding that out. That’s probably the major reason.
Ah on jerboa I saw all the photos in line without the text description! So I added descriptions in text outside the link as well, but I guess some people might just see the text doubled now?
And yes big weekend - 200+ individuals. Though the garden always gets a lot, and the bulb for the trap gives off pretty strong light. All identified, recorded & released unharmed asap btw.
You still need to sign up to/log into Threads (via Instagram) to have a Threads account or be active on there though, so what makes it theoretical? If they counted all Instagram accounts as Threads accounts it’d instantly be in the billions surely.
