I think that‘s great and hope my country will clear the way to build more nuclear power plants too

Sure, the radioactive waste is not great, but renewable energy sources are too unstable to provide the baseline of power consumption

Nuclear could provide that base power. Renewable sources in combination with pumped-storage hydroelectric facilities (or other ways to store power) would then be able to cover the fluctuations in demand

Eventually we hopefully figure out how to generate power using fusion, but for now I don‘t think we have other good options

As far as I know that‘s because earlier in development the boost actually was the upvote, but now it‘s as you‘d expect it coming from Reddit

But I think the reputation system just hasn‘t been adapted to this yet

I‘ve just heard that from someone else around here, so take it with a grain of salt

As @hamid said: An agreement exists between the US and the EU granting any citizen the right to go to court to defend their rights to their data

There‘s a summary as well as links to the actual agreements here

It‘s not intuitive, but you can find your subscriptions in the settings

In terms of features kbin is kinda lacking, but considering that it‘s basically existed only for a few months and has been developed by a single guy it‘s pretty impressive

I‘m sure new features will be added relatively quickly now that a lot of people are willing to help out

Here‘s a link where someone copied the post to kbin. There‘s also a link to reddit

I vote for Kbinauts, since we‘re kinda like astronauts exploring the fediverse

Imagine contacting a company as a journalist for comment and getting a poop emoji as a response

Twitter is almost as big of a shitshow as Reddit is

I probably wouldn‘t remove the account itself
Otherwise you can‘t remove them again when they get restored by the admins

You ask the impossible

Hmm yeah that’s true… So really the question is who decides what “sufficiently anonymized” actually means. Or what counts as personal data and what does not. Probably only a court can answer these questions since the GDPR is not very precise in that regard

I guess the best way to find out is to request deletion of all data including comments and posts, and if they don’t comply then take them to court or file a complaint with your national Data Protection Authority

Since having left Reddit I’ve been spending a lot of time on Kbin reading through all kinds of posts. While I’m sure that there are bad eggs everywhere you go, I haven’t seen much hateful posts/comments. But then again, maybe I’ve just missed those

Still we need to stay vigilant and report content that does not belong here

The website also states that „properly anonymized data“ is not affected by the GDPR.

The only things from that list, that should be posted on a public internet forum, are race, gender and political views anyways. And it isn‘t really possible to identify a single user based on these data points

By submitting content to Reddit you also granted them an irrevocable license to use it (according to their ToS) and Art.17, 3a of the GDPR protects data that is not identifiable from deletion

But I guess it‘s worth a try. Maybe their DPO is a nice guy

I think if that works it would be a great solution! Processing copyright claims is pretty time-consuming, so they‘d have to put a lot of work into it

But the Reddit ToS states that by submitting content to their Services you

grant [Reddit] a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, copy, modify, adapt, prepare derivative works of, distribute, store, perform, and display Your Content

You‘re right, you can use the GDPR to delete personal data. But again, I don‘t think posts and comment are considered personal data and that they would not have to be removed since they are essential to understanding the discussion as a whole

The GDPR was never intended to be able to destroy information, just to protect the privacy of users. So as long as there‘s no information that could identify a user in their posts/comments (which no one should make publicly available anyways) then Reddit is under no obligation to delete the content you generated. They only have to disassociate it from your account, which they do by displaying the username as „deleted“

The creative ways found by the communities to tell spez to fuck off is one of the few good things that has come from this disaster

There‘s clearly only one way forward for r/pics!

You‘re right, if the law was applicable then they‘d have to „process“(delete) the data.

But since the right to information weighs heavier than the right to be forgotten (except when it comes to personal data, which can be used to identify a user) Reddit is not required by the GDPR to delete posts/comments that do not contain such information

Firefox and sometimes Safari. Since I also have a Windows machine I like to use the same browser on both devices. And I don‘t like giving more data to Google by using Chrome. They know enough about me already

@sensibilidades is probably right that they could just restore the previous state from a backup

In addition to that is a name not necessarily information that would identify you. There are many people out there that share the same name. It would require additional personal information, like address, phone number or something like that

Even if that would help deleting a users Reddit history I wouldn‘t exactly recommend posting putting that information on the internet
