Alkalyon,

I have already sent a GDPR request to Reddit and they refuse to comply.

I asked them to delete everything they have about me, including my account and they told me that I need to login into reddit and ask it from there which:

  1. I don't have to since GDPR says that I can even do it verbally and I don't even have to write to a specific email, I can just let any employee of that company that I want this and they should honor it.
  2. They straight up don't even have the option to delete your data there, since I requested for the complete erasure of my data as that is also in my rights.

Reddit literally refuses to comply with GDPR rules and tonight after work I am going to lodge a formal complain about GDPR violations as I do have proof of this in my emails.

Fuck Reddit I hope it crashes and burns.

Alkalyon,

GDPR applies to people in European Economic Area whose data is used by companies,

I am in Greece. I am protected by GDPR.

Alkalyon,

The controller should use all reasonable measures to verify the identity of a data subject

Huge emphasis on reasonable. If by asking me to log in for the sake of verification results in me not being able to delete my data as I've demonstrated above, then this is 100% NOT REASONABLE.

They are actively hindering the process that GDPR requires me to take.

I don't care about the small letters, this is a GDPR violation. I should have an easy way to delete my data and this ain't it.

Alkalyon,

If you are not a European citizen you cannot ask for your data to be deleted but you 100% can report a company, in this context Reddit, for not complying with GDPR.

Alkalyon,

Hoping Starfield won't force me into base-building / micromanaging like Fallout 4 did

I loved Fallout 4 but one of my least favorite aspects of it was how it forced me into base building when I pretty much wasn't interested in that aspect of the game. I get Bethesda was doing something new and wanted to show it off, but it was so annoying being so prevalent in a lot of the main missions of that game. I'm really...

Alkalyon,

It's also the reason I don't play No Man's Sky(apart from the bait and switch launch).

People don't play Bethesda games because they are good sims but because they are good RPGs.

If they pivot to a sim/building type game then I don't think people will like it.

Alkalyon,

This comment is incorrect as well.

The people that cared left and what's left behind is people that wouldn't leave anyway and the strike only bothers them.

This person is living in a bubble and can't see further than their nose.

Alkalyon,

We need to document this and make sure everyone knows what reddit is doing.

There's been a lot of posts both here and on reddit saying that mentions of kbin and/or lemmy get deleted or the users/subs get outright banned, like /r/redditMigration, which had 2 posts and got banned for spam.

Regardless of the outcome of the strike, Reddit already has died. The users that matter won't go back. The users that stay will be media and a large pool of lurkers with no value to the community.

Reddit as we knew it, already died.

r/gaming public again for community input (old.reddit.com)

Over the past 48 hours, r/gaming has participated in the Reddit-wide blackout in protest of the API pricing changes Reddit is planning to roll out. Over those 48 hours, the behaviour of the Reddit admins has been disappointing. Admin has been stepping in and allegedly removing moderators and forcing closed subreddits open, to...

Alkalyon,

Reddit has been banning users and/or communities that redirect others to Lemmy.

Alkalyon,

Squabbles

Isn't this developed by one person, isn't open source and forbids NSFW in general? That is never going to go well.

Tildes

No mobile app and no ActivityPub so it's a very specialised. Additionally I don't like the UI at all and I've read this in multiple threads here as well.

Lemmy + Kbin

Both are show the same content as they are federated so it's up to who prefers what really. I prefer Lemmy, but anything is fine.

Alkalyon,

These and others are why you’re finding me with you here in the fediverse.

I've been here for a week and it already feels like home!

Alkalyon,

Apparently they had a falling out or something because there a similar post by the tankie including screenshots and proof that the dude that posted the above is lying.

I don’t wanna start my experience by listening to someone else to be honest so I will decide for myself what is better for me.

And up until now lemmy has had a better experience for me than kbin social. Additionally I think kbin isn’t open to signups anymore from what people are saying.

I have been using lemmy for more than a week now and have also talked with the dev/admin both regarding communities and on GitHub for a pull request I did. The experience was good and for now I will be staying here.

I also don’t like the look of kbin and the ux for now.

I have an account in mastodon, kbin, tildes, raddle and lemmy and out of all, lemmy seemed to work the best for me, for now.

Alkalyon,

Yeah. This is kinda gaslighting:

We’ve also seen a rise in anti-China posts that have hit Reddit lately, and along with that comes anti-chinese racism,

No. Anti-china posts are not racist. We all hate Hitler Germany. Does that mean we are racist against Germans?

This sentence is fundamentaly flawed and shouldn't exist in the documentation.

Alkalyon,

Getting lost is part of the experience.

I got lost on where to go countless times. The initial response of your brain is This is not fun. I braved through it and instead said I need to get lost less so I invested more time to getting maps and mark dead-ends or impassable places and it made the game one of the best games I've ever played.

Alkalyon,

And this is what this mod solves, but yes, you are correct. Once is enough. EVERY time is atrocious.

Alkalyon,

I can say that the only timed content I enjoyed was in WoW and it was the Challenge Modes.

Both because you could try it multiple times and because the reward was an actual prestigious and awesome reward.

I can't think of another game with a timed run mechanic that offered anything close to that.

Alkalyon,

they feel like cheating.

Or worthless. This item increases your dmg for 10 seconds.

Dude, 1 second is the animation alone and after consuming it, I need to use 3 skills to snapshot the dmg increase so effectively I have 4-5 seconds of actual usage.

Consumables are horrible as a system in general.

Alkalyon,

It's also the reason I DO NOT like survival games.

I would be ok with this mechanic if I didn't have to eat 10 bear steaks of 2 kilos each to last me for the next 10 minutes.

Alkalyon,

Oh wow, already? I made an account a few days ago without restrictions.

Alkalyon,

Yes.

I managed to get in because apparently now it's invitation only but I still MUCH prefer lemmy.

Mostly because everyone is moving towards ActivityPub and Tildes isn't.
