Having worked at a company that had a massive influx of GDPR requests we weren’t prepared for, this one could actually cause them some trouble if Reddit don’t have that process properly automated.
They do not have it automated. I put in a request 2 weeks ago and still haven’t heard back.

When can you complain about the slow response?
I would not at all be surprised if the GDPR dictates a set time period to respond backed up by fines.
the GDPR gives them 30 days to honor your request I think?
Yeah it’s 30 days, though they can push it up to 90 if they have a good reason. They have to inform you of that though.
You can also request it again every 30 days… just saying.
And to be fair, a large influx of data requests is probably considered a good reason.
They still have to comply within the 90 day period. If they can’t comply in that timeframe a warning or a fine could be issued.
Expect the new Reddit automated response to data requests to push it to 90 days then.
They have 30 days I believe.
Yeah same. They might be holding back until the last minute deliberately in some 4D chess move, but like you I think it’s more likely some poor soul is preparing them manually.
Reddit has not made a single 1D chess move this entire debacle, theyre defiinitely not that intelligent.

I don’t think they want that, they have a month before they have to come back with something or you can escalate it to a supervising body. Imagine getting taken to court because redditors flooded your GDPR response process
Idk, Mr. Inspired-by-Musk might not know or care.
That mandatory overtime.

I loaded up Reddit and did my part. For those who still have Reddit accounts, upvote the original to keep it at the top
Kk
Done
Quite a longer process I think. In the end the only nice thing I got from this whole mess is to discover lemmy. I also suggest everyone to check Mastodon as Twitter alternative. Fk monopolies ✊️
Lemmy is so nice, I almost didn’t feel the switch between platforms it’s pretty much the same.
It’s nice not feeling like there’s an algorithm looming over me. I’d browse a sub more than usual one or two times, Reddit blows up my feed with that sub. Sometimes I wouldn’t see anything from some other subs unless I made a point to go visit them.
Well, i’m still getting the hang of it, but so far is quite good. Btw I suggest to any Android user the app Jerboa, way better of the alternative I’ve find in the store 👌

Already nuking my account, and im not in the eu/us region
Can still participate?
Yes 100%. They have an EU presence so this applies to all the data they hold about anyone.
I’m not in either and could still request it: http://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request
Also, remember the threat that Reddit presented to capitalism’s status quo around the height of antiwork and GME.
If Reddit falls, it will be on purpose (by the people running/funding Reddit. Same as the 180 of Twitter as a somewhat legitimate forum - Twitter being a key organizing tool during the Arab Spring (with the Saudis being the largest investor in Twitter behind elon of course).
Billionaires do each other favors to keep the class war in balance.
This is an insightful take that I’ve not seen discussed as much as I think it should be. People like to make fun of billionaires for being apparently stupid, but there’s more going on here when the stupid decisions of these billionaires are resulting in directly destroying tools that have become increasingly and specifically used for anticapitalist actions.
Hence also why Meta is so interested in getting in on the fediverse in whatever capacity they can; they want to influence and direct the conversations of the working people in opposition to them, and eventually they’ll try to destroy this too.
Exactly, all of it is an attack on the left.
Don’t forget OWS
That’s genius! I just did it myself.
Yeah stuff that, additionally saved my one Frontpage post and then deleted all comments and posts and finally my account

I deleted my posts but not my account so that I can keep deleting them.

You can still makes GDPR request for your data too see if they hold further data on you. See the template here for what I mean: https://www.datarequests.org/sample-letters/
I’ve done this, but how much time is needed to automate it? If it’s 1-2 week they can just automate and then process all the past and future requests in buk
Still means that they have a problem to resolve which is a w
Thanks for posting this over here. I otherwise wouldn’t have known this was going on. As I used a mostly lurker account for game day threads I wasn’t going to bother with a data request. It’s a whole different story if we can inundate them though. Request submitted. o7
I did my part
Done and done!
Awesome idea! Just threw in my request.
