  • Fighting Back: PoliticalHumor Breaks Down Barriers by making ALL subscribers Moderators
  • I just love how all the communities get to stick it to spez

  • Kbin and Lemmy should come to a consensus on how to name stuff
  • 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

  • What happens if a US site just ignores the GDPR?
  • 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

  • This feels like a forced reddit detox.
  • 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

  • How do we call kbin users?
  • I vote for Kbinauts, since we‘re kinda like astronauts exploring the fediverse

  • how many of you have genuinely ditched reddit?
  • Personally I don‘t use it for browsing anymore
    Sometimes I take a peak to check out the funny ways subs stick it to spez though

  • Reddit may be bringing back deleted comments
  • 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

  • Why do most reddit alternatives end up becoming shit shows?
  • 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

  • Just started the process of editing all of my Reddit comments
  • 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

  • Reddit may be bringing back deleted comments
  • 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

  • Reddit may be bringing back deleted comments
  • 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“

  • /r/pics is voting on whether to make the sub solely for sexy pics of John Oliver
  • 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!

  • Reddit may be bringing back deleted comments
  • 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

    But we can‘t really know for sure what counts as personal data unless someone drags a company in front of a court over something like this

  • Reddit may be bringing back deleted comments
  • I think you should definitely try, but I don't think it'll work. According to this stackexchange question they could argue that deleting your comments would break the cohesiveness of the discussion and make the available information incomplete.

    Art.17, 3a states that the right to be forgotten is not applicable if processing of the data is required to exercise freedom of information. So I don't think posts or comments are affected by the GDPR as long as they don't contain any information that would identify a user

  • Searching magazines
  • Ah yeah. On mobile it works for me too, but on desktop it looks like this for me. But if no one else is having this problem then I'm probably doing something wrong

  • /kbin meta @kbin.social S4nvers @kbin.social
    Searching magazines

    Is it just me or has something about the search changed? I think you used to be able to click on the search icon, then select "magazines" to search for one

    Now the only way I've found to do that is to scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "magazines" there

    Seems a bit cumbersome to me and I think it's not that intuitive either

    Edit: I think I‘ve found it!

    What are some of your favorite Anime to re-watch?
  • For me it's probably Psycho-Pass. I'm usually not a fan of gore and stuff like that, but somehow I keep coming back to this one. Something about the distopian setting just draws me in. It's a shame that there were only three seasons
