Thanks, I Love It.
Unfortunately that has no chance of succeeding. When you sign up to reddit, you give them a license to use the content you submit. It’s in the user agreement, section 5 “Your Content”: https://www.redditinc.com/policies/user-agreement
Under GDPR you have the right to your content, including data download and revocation. If you are banned from or restricted access to a website it doesn’t strip you of that right. However the complain should have probably been through GDPR and not DMCA.
No, under the GDPR you don’t have the right to have your content removed. You have the right to have personally identifiable data removed, things like names, IP addresses, phone numbers, …
I’ll link to the EU website that explains what they mean with personal data below, but I don’t think a logo qualifies under their definition.
https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/what-personal-data_en
Yeah, I just don’t get why this misinformation is so wide-spread. Under GDPR you don’t own shit, it’s for protecting your personal information. That’s all.
It’s a lot like HIPAA for the internet.
This doesn’t hold any grounds in the EU as copyrights can’t be waived, and unless you got paid for it, you can withdraw consent at any time.
You don’t waive your copyright. You grant a license to reddit to use your content.
Read the link, it’s all there:
You retain any ownership rights you have in Your Content, but you grant Reddit the following license to use that Content:
…This doesn’t apply unless you got compensated for your work. Reddit can add anything they like in their agreements, but that won’t hold in court.
The artist can withdraw consent at any time.
You are confused. What you are describing applies to transferring copyright, not for granting a license while retaining the copyright.
If things worked the way you described, free software, for example licensed through the GPL, couldn’t exist because then the authors could always take away the users’ rights by retroactively revoking their license. Fortunately, it doesn’t work that way.
There are cases where artists withdrew consent and their work had to be taken down, and to my knowledge all contracts can be amended or cancelled, especially if they’re exploitative like reddits. You have a right to compensation if they profit off of your creative work, be it artwork, music, or writing.
Under GDPR you have the right to your content, including data download and revocation. If you are banned from or restricted access to a website it doesn’t strip you of that right. However the complain should have probably been through GDPR and not DMCA.
GDPR wouldn’t cover this case either. Not if the logo has no personal data attached to it https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/what-personal-data_en
The DMCA is used “successfully” with even less grounds on YouTube every day. But I suppose the difference lies in not being a mega corporation.
Yeah, the DMCA only works one way :(
Do you intend to try and move the community somewhere else, e.g. here?
Yes, we are already talking about that in the mod team. Happy to find a new home in kbin, we were all pretty much done by this point
That’s great to hear. I’ll be subscribing ASAP.
Hi, another of the mods who got nuked.
TIHI had a place saved here yesterday (because I didn’t trust Spez) and is going by the name TIHI! (Marvel at my creativity.)
I’m waiting on the kbin developer to tell me WHY I can’t add Pfhali, Davis, Blank, Sezar and Funkadelic_Toaster, but once he does the whole team will be back and we will be making the sub just like before.
Before the NSFW I mean.
On this note I want to say a big thank you to all our mod team, they did an excellent job all these years!
I’ll be thankful for everything they have done.Did you already send Ernest a message? I’ve noticed he’s really good at responding to messages he’s just really busy at the moment for obvious reasons haha. Also weird that you can’t add others to be mods on the magazine I haven’t seen others have any issues with that yet, wonder if it’s a bug on that one magazine for some reason
Here meaning [email protected]? How do I sub or join or whatever it is I do now?
You can do like in reddit, expect instead of r/tihi you go m/tihi (since they’re magazines here, if it was on lemmy the url would’ve been c/tihi since they’re called communities).
TLDR; go to kbin.social/m/tihi and hit subscribe on the sidebar.Yep, right here! Just search TIHI and…your guess is as good as mine 😂
You are on lemmy so you have to search for [email protected] (note the exclamation mark) to subscribe. Or if someone else on your instance already follows just go to lemmy.nz/c/[email protected]
Edit: Federation between kbin and lemmy is still a bit unstable so you might need to wait a few hours for it to show upThanks, I think this might be why I can’t find it. Will have another look in the morning
From what I can tell, this is all kbin. The user is @kbin and this is a kbin magazine.
I feel like you’re on Lemmy and didn’t realize this is all kbin lol.
Unless I’m wrong and missing something, let me know!
Edit: nevermind, I just understood what you meant with your message. You can disregard mine lol.
Before the NSFW I mean.
Thanks for clarifying, wouldn’t want to stumble upon someone’s arsehole again.
Do you mean you can’t add them as mods?
I wasn’t subbed before on reddit, subbing now on kbin cause honestly guys, kudos on you for going out with a fight
Good luck with the migration! Can’t wait!
Probably because I didn’t have an account here.
YAYYY i cant wait for you guys to move here, i’m gonna sub immediately!
As the original creator and designer of the logo and banner, I also filed a DMCA against the further use of the r/TIHI logo on reddit.
Well done.
In 7 days I’m going to speedrun a permanent account ban.
Just say that you’ll kill and eat Matt Walsh if you were locked on a room with him, worked for me
I want to try something… Less involved in getting me on more lists.
Honestly, people posting unrelated trash to subreddits with new moderators would be good. A dozen new moderators against thousands of non-bots just posting shit to reddit would be fun to try to moderate.
Not even rule breaking stuff so you can contribute more than once. Like submitting wikihow articles for laying down floor tiles in TIHI. and upvoting other posts that don’t belong.
Reporting misinformation in r/conservative (in good faith) worked for me.
Nah, that shit just got me banned from specific reddits. You have to make a joke about eating one of their idols.
r/conservative mods are unique in that they retaliate by claiming it’s “report abuse.”
Time to go nuclear.
All mods on r/TIHI have been removed
They also suspended all our accounts for 7 days.
Well at least they are focused on the topic of your ex-sub.
deleted by creator
It’s easy for them to attack the remaining subreddits when half of reddit, bent the knee at the slightest threat of having mod powers removed. Imagine how hard it would have been to do this if a majority of subreddits had stuck together.
Yes there’s an element of people not wanting to lose their power. But for every dickhead powermod there are dozens of small subreddits with a handful of people working hard to establish and maintain a community, largely altruistically and thanklessly.
Modding, when it’s done well by dedicated people with a passion for their subject, can be incredibly powerful. There are some communities (eg legaladvice, askhistorians) that are unique and just couldn’t exist without those people dedicating untold hours to tending to them to prevent them from descending into chaos. Not to mention the custom tools almost all of them rely on.
Have a read of Legaladviceuk announcement.
Yeah the issue with my sub is we’ve worked really hard to create the community we have. A lot of our users won’t leave. I’ve decided to use an automod sticky comment on every post letting everyone know where the rest of our official pages are. I have seen very little migration unfortunately.
We decided as a mod team to keep our sub open. We’re all migrating off Reddit but we’re keeping our accounts for our one singular sub.
Most people don’t pay attention to things around them and don’t tend to care unless it directly impacts them.
As long as you and other mods are carrying on in your roles, these people have no motivation to move.
If the subbreddits stop being moderated it will generally degrade the experience, people will become impacted and then be forced to take notice.
This is the gamble, someone might step up, they might decide leaving reddit is too high a price or you might cause people to migrate.
More than half the subs are modded by the same handful of power mods. No way they would give that up, they’re probably government run accounts anyway.
Well the governments better start creating instances and communities in the fediverse to monitor us then
That was some weak ass protest anyway. Let’s protest for just 2 days! No wonder Steve Huffman just gloated about it all over and even called the mods “landed gentry”
It wasn’t just 2 days though? 2 days blackout was the first part. I mean, we’re literally in a thread about a sub being punished for continuing their protest and they’re not the only sub.
IMO it was always the right move to start with a limited protest. Giving users a chance to vote on next steps easily lets them counter reddit’s claims that people wanted the protest to end.
Most subs only protested during those two days. If all 8k subreddits had committed to a indefinite blackout, there would little reddit admins could do.
They should have quit at the same time.
I like how you’re in trouble for allowing NSFW posts in a sfw community, oh but also you’re not allowed to mark things NSFW.
Reddit: “we will make up whatever rules we want, whenever we want, so that we can keep funding the payments on our BMWs”
Normally, companies try and implement changes in their product in a diplomatic way, but I guess Reddit never got that memo.
Since when they have a rule to prevent SFW subs from turning into NSFW subs? Did they add the clause just recently?
They didn’t care/enforce it during the whole anime_titties/worldpolitics shenanigans, so either new or enforced when they feel like it. Centralised control sure is great.
its recent. they’are also remaking reddit’s content policy.
spez and his jackbooted thugs are doing everything they can to burn reddit to the ground before July 1.
Jannies have never been good at relating to people, and reddit admins are like the jannies’ janny. Ban-happiness is inevitable.
Forums are an interesting model for real life human social structures. If you operate your social structural group in such a way that the only way of meting out punishment is exclusion, eventually you can create an outgroup that becomes a threatening competitor.
When your containment board is another website, you lose.
This subreddit is unmoderated. Visit /r/redditrequest to request it.
Holly shit! I’m going to get some popcorn.
As one of the former mods, I am REALLY hoping someone turns it into a hate sub for Steven Kings acclaimed book and the not so acclaimed films.
The fact that the whole mods team got wiped out means none of them are scabs. Hat off for holding your ground.
Typical dogshit from Reddit admins, holy shit it gets worse every day
Hell, its getting worse by the hour.
Hell, it got worse compared to just 30 seconds ago.
You are free to do whatever you want with your subreddit as long as do do exactly the things we tell you to do
Stop giving them content for free, they are milking you like cows. That’s why they are restoring your deleted content, because they are making cash out of your messages. Leave reddit behind and enter the fediverse.
Indeed
All the more reason to never use reddit again, even if they revert the API pricing
This is becoming dystopian
r/aboringdystopia ehhh I mean, c/? I wonder if those guys are here yet, gonna go search.
A user on tildes describes how to go scorched earth for mods:
- Turn off all spam filtering
- Disable minimum karma requirements
- Allow all posts, disable all rules
- Unban all banned users
- Purge all allowed submitters
- Turn off AutoModerator, Scrub all configs
- Delete all CSS and uploaded images/maps
- Blank all sidebars, Delete all flairs
- Allow NSFW content, Enable sub’s content on /all
- Set the sub’s color scheme on mobile to something vomit-inducing
- Blank all of the text options such as the sub’s topic listing
- Grab a copy of anything in the wikis worth saving
- Disable and permanently remove all third party mod tools and bots
- Invite all users to the moderation team with full comment/submission privs
- GDPR request for their own account data and then
- Use it to delete their accounts and all of their content
The options in bold, they have no defense for. That’s where the pressure points lie. The rest they can cope with, but not those options, not if lots of subs and users go that route.
- Unban all banned users
- Invite all users to the moderation team with full comment/submission privs
Do both of these together. Make every banned account into a mod!
Might want to avoid turning the sub NSFW, reddit admins claimed that as the criteria they are watching for to remove mods. They say they are taking action to prevent porn being spammed.
I mean most of these actions would probably end with the mod getting removed, but yeah the current target is NSFW, as that directly affects reddit’s ability to serve ads.
Which is funny, because the NSFW rules state that it’s not only porn, but profanity as well:
NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content
Content that contains nudity, pornography, or profanity, which a reasonable viewer may not want to be seen accessing in a public or formal setting such as in a workplace should be tagged as NSFW. This tag can be applied to individual pieces of content or to entire communities.Literally according to Reddits own content policy rules, any sub that allows swearing should mark itself NSFW - which basically means all of them because I’ve yet to find a sub where swearing wasn’t allowed.
Watching the dumpster fire in real-time. Nice.
Thanks, I hate it
What was the TIHI subreddit about? (I don’t want to even go to reddit to find out. Blocked that site).
Thanks, I Hate It
Thanks I hate it! It’s whatever stuff that makes you say that.
So, it’s about reddit admin decisions?
Hateable pictures like pics of disgusting or weird stuff, similar to WTF
it means, Thanks I Hate It.
This is bullshit
This is
