/r/pics employing weaponised bureaucracy in the fight against Reddit

They do not have it automated. I put in a request 2 weeks ago and still haven’t heard back.

To save everyone from having to type:

http://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request

Posting pictures of Jon Oliver does nothing. A German reddit mod told me, that the admins themselves suggested that the German mods should do this kind of protest instead of keeping the sub in NSFW mode 🤡. The NSFW action + blackout was the only thing that actually hurt them.

This is exactly what I did one week ago when I decided to leave Reddit. They still haven't gotten back to me

Doing my part

Remind me to never run a company (into the ground) and piss off the entire internet 🤣

Edit: Also, done.

Just did it for my 10yr old 150k karma account.

Thanks for posting this over here. I otherwise wouldn't have known this was going on. As I used a mostly lurker account for game day threads I wasn't going to bother with a data request. It's a whole different story if we can inundate them though. Request submitted. o7

I put mine in today.

Also, remember the threat that Reddit presented to capitalism's status quo around the height of antiwork and GME.

If Reddit falls, it will be on purpose (by the people running/funding Reddit. Same as the 180 of Twitter as a somewhat legitimate forum - Twitter being a key organizing tool during the Arab Spring (with the Saudis being the largest investor in Twitter behind elon of course).

Billionaires do each other favors to keep the class war in balance.

also did my part 🫡

I loaded up Reddit and did my part. For those who still have Reddit accounts, upvote the original to keep it at the top

Me and all my alts covering around 10 years have requested 😈

Just did it, fuck 'em.

Makes me wish I wasn't so quick to delete my account.

I would be really surprised if it isn't automated. I would think they just delay as long as possible to provide the info back.

Yeah stuff that, additionally saved my one Frontpage post and then deleted all comments and posts and finally my account

Quite a longer process I think. In the end the only nice thing I got from this whole mess is to discover lemmy. I also suggest everyone to check Mastodon as Twitter alternative. Fk monopolies ✊️

Just put the request, now I only have to wait a geological era to have my data back

Is June 30th specifically the best time to do this… so they know why? Or should I just do it now?

That's genius! I just did it myself.

Done

I've done this, but how much time is needed to automate it? If it's 1-2 week they can just automate and then process all the past and future requests in buk

You could consider making a data request first and after they respond, make a deletion request when you’d like your account removed. This will use even more resources.

If they do not respond to either the data request or deletion request (or do not fulfil these requests fully), you can make a complaint with your local data protection office or the one Reddit is based in (maybe Ireland?). Make sure you invoke GDPR using the correct language for your request.

Here’s a template letter of how to do so under GDPR. You must request your data or the deletion of you data using the correct legal framework (quoting the correct legislation) and these templates make this easy. Plus they cover more types of data than just your posts and comments.

I was a redditor for 15 fucking years before they suspended all of my accounts after a mod permabanned me from /politics and I accidentally posted from another account weeks later.

I posted A LOT over those years, from a ton of various accounts. (One of my biggest fears was getting doxxed so I had a bunch of burners and accounts for specific niche interests and such.)

Just requested full data history for all ~10 of my accounts. Fuck reddit.

Well my account is not that old, but i did my part.

Request submitted

Done!

Awesome idea! Just threw in my request.

I did it on all my alts lol.

Done and done!

Kk going hard.

Quite a longer process I think. In the end the only nice thing I got from this whole mess is to discover lemmy. I also suggest everyone to check Mastodon as Twitter alternative. Fk monopolies ✊️

Already nuking my account, and im not in the eu/us region

Can still participate?
