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.

    Move all the information here and run power delete suite on you reddit accounts while you still can with links to join-lemmy.org, I think that will hurt them quite a bit.

        Can’t believe it. They’re becoming real motherfuckers right now. They seem hell bent on getting that IPO.

          Someone would have to look at the terms and conditions. It’s possible there’s a clause like “anything you write is ours” in legal speak.

            Wouldn’t matter to GDPR, people have sued over much less, right to be forgotten is a thing, and you don’t need a lawyer to do it. Could be worth everyone sending in a request to inundate them and they’ll have to sift through them to follow the law correctly. Once received, any valid and legal request must be actioned within 60 days, and most companies take 15-30 just figuring out how to do so. We don’t have to flood their legal department much to make them lose track of something, and if any of you are EU citizens, your request must be honored.

        I wonder how legal that is, and if there’s grounds for a class action

          I have been wondering if I could use the GDPR like a bludgeon to get them to remove my shit for real, but it seems like a lot of trouble to go through when my comments were overall just random thoughts that popped into my head and nothing useful.

            Eh. You never know. People leave breadcrumbs of useful info in what they deem not useful. Further, things that you might not think twice about (ex: casually mentioning what car you drive, a coffee shop you went to that day) might reveal a lot of information (eg: your political leaning, rough geographic info etc). If you still have access to an old account, dig through your comments pretending to be a spy (or marketing agent) trying to learn as much about you as possible, with 0 prior knowledge - you might be surprised how much you learn.
