News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Yet again the myth of it somehow hurting Reddit... It doesn't, it's definitely easier than sorting the hot feed computation-resources-wise. My company works with big data and getting yout GDPR data dump is a matter of minutes. And we probably have more data per user than Reddit does.
Yeah the way the data is structured makes it looks like a straight dump from their databases that no doubt is automated.
The amount of data that they do provide in there is much more than I was expecting, compared to some other platforms I've seen that do the bare minimum by dumping some basic metadata for your account and that's it.
Under GDPR they have to give you everything they have about you. Sure, they might skip some bits, but if it's too obvious that you're not giving everything, you open up yourself to some pretty big fines.
I'm sure you're right, but curious why it took so long to process my request? If it's automated and easy, why isn't it done immediately?
My guess would be to sway your opinion - requesting your data often happens when you leave the service and very often it's because something on that service pissed you off.
If they take 2 weeks instead of 5 minutes, chances are you are going to calm down, change your mind and stay.
