You either haven’t been on the internet long enough to recognize this very common slippery slope, or you do recognize it - and you’re rooting for the slope.
The best de- endorsement will come from people’s experience on reddit as the quality of user engagement drops. There are people who genuinely will never give a shit and will stay there, but those are exactly the sort of lazy minds who made up the critical mass of the shallow “hivemind.” Id rather we make this a community that encourages independent thought more than bandwagoning.
Don’t waste your time engaging them on that platform unless you’re a child, douchebag, or troll. If your posts are actually good content, it sends a mixed message that good independent thinking redditors are whethering the shitstorm. Your actions will speak louder than your words, and our collective absence from their platform will speak volumes.
As someone with both a college level understanding of German and an understanding of law, it’s basically a law creating a special type of lawsuit similar but different from a US class action, that Germany passed into law after the 2015 Volkswagen scandal. It tries to incentivize businesses protecting consumers through actual safeguards by punishing companies when they lack them, rather than a class action that arguably has the effect of pressuring companies to be even more misleading or confusing to deliberately avoid liability. How it does this? Probably gonna have to tap in a legal scholar for that one.
That’s not really how it works. They can claim safe harbor from piracy that occurs on their forums and if they are demanding all communities open up then it’s not an endorsement of certain subjects over others.
Now say it again but replace crytpocurrecy with Website aggregation. Its honestly not that different from leaving the big centralized reddit for the Fediverse… only to mostly end up in a few relatively huge alternatives in the name of decentralizing. Its just… human nature.
The only thing they ‘always’ do is mimic human language conventions based on scraped data. It stands to reason that as a higher percentage of people talking about Chat GPT refer to it using different words, the model would take that into account when referring to itself.
The right to a speedy trial is rare in Europe. Maximum pretrial detention in Romania is 5 years. But compare that to 4 years in Spain and 3 France.
God speed soldier! Your account’s sacrifice will not be forgotten.
Communities that revolve around a some class of meme format or joke are just the worst type of community.
Don’t get me wrong. Memes are great. Jokes are great. Inside jokes are great. But I’d much rather see them in the wild than have them all curated in a folder like its some zoo or a butterfly collection.
I was told that OnlyFans was started by the mods in some of the NSFW subreddits who used their position of power to recruit the early adopters from the highest upvoted posts in their subs.
I have a hunch: if you knew how much of Reddit’s size was bots or work accounts pushing a paid for agenda, you wouldn’t miss it.
Of course not. But if you date and have relationships the other people involved understand the context exactly. If you started sending random nudes of your “I’m an actual full grown real life 30 year old adult. I look like a minor” self to strangers, how what would the context be.
Now of course NSFW animation is harmless. But you can understand the worry for 1000s of normies who click and the first thought they have is “Fuck is this CP? what am I looking at? I need to reevaluate my website choices.” if they have zero reference points from life or culture except what’s illegal tabboo and disgusting in their culture.
The great thing about the Fediverse though - there will likely be an instance where a vast majority share your opinion and can connect to all the same instances from an 3rd origin point instance.
Ahh, see this is the moment I realize we’re all in a separate instances and all assuming our UIs look identical.
They can’t do that one under their terms of use, at least not directly:
By submitting user content to reddit, you grant us a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, unrestricted, worldwide license to reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute copies, perform, or publicly display your user content in any medium and for any purpose, including commercial purposes, and to authorize others to do so
So OP retains copyrights, Reddit has a nonexclusive license to it forever, but only OPs DMCA would be valid.
If federating meant their ads could creep into our spaces, then I bet they would just get defederated by everyone in hours.
Can’t be done, admins have it all backed up.
If you live in EU or California it’s also worth it to send an official GDPR or CPRA request after deletion; I believe the request form is under account privacy settings. This should ensure they are not changing the state of the data you’ve erased (in case they have it backed up elsewhere). If they are found to be falsifying this it would be class action lawsuits with hefty fines.
I love this! Agitation and frustration while following the terms and conditions and reddiquette
Funnily enough it did fine at the box office but because it was positioned at the end of Disney’s “golden age” and made noticeably less than any other Disney movie of the era, they pivoted away from it to the point where many people assume it’s a DreamWorks or Universal animated flick.
