It’s been handled amazingly well on the whole, too!

It really was, way more than the sum of its parts. It also had one of the nicest communities, for an online game there was very little bad behaviour and the devs and other employees would be around from time to time to play, too!

I think that tends to be the starting point, but the user base is expanding quickly and is becoming way more diverse. There are already plenty of users who don’t fit in that category, and I suspect it will continue to grow.

Whoever made the post won 1 million lem-coins maybe

I wonder what the one millionth post was (hopefully something dumb)

A really old game called Fat Princess - it was a wonderful multiplayer real time strategy kind of thing, with a beautiful community for quite a few years. Despite the name, it was one of the best games I’ve ever played!

If you were on there and recognise my screen name, yes it is me!

Completely anecdotal, but when I had a look at r/all, it looked way less busy and lower quality, full of subs I’d never heard of, and generally…not that great.

There are so many potentially NSFW posts showing up in the main feed because of all the odd subs it is probably a good idea to report them so there are no issues with the advertisers.

I think I fall on the side of preemptive defederation, not just because of data harvesting etc but also because the incoming communities will be huge and dwarf anything already here - look at what has happened here already as communities try to merge and establish. Everything dominant will become meta along with whatever mods and rules etc they already have in place. Scary.

If you understand tech, you will get it. But lets face it, most people don’t know wtf they are doing lol

This should be the Fediverse tagline

You are very welcome my dear friend

I always struggled with looking at the porn because my erection would get in the way. Thank you for reading and have a great day

Not at all, just wanted to make sure! I do sometimes wonder if people question if it is a legit discussion, especially given my obviously grown up and sensible user name haha.

Absolutely, sorry I don’t mean to sound like I am arguing with you - sorry if it comes across like that! I agree completely with what you’ve said and you’ve been really helpful with things I didn’t know about. I’m loving Lemmy and want it to succeed and I’m just coming from a place of genuine concern and wanting to see the discussions had, especially where I have dealt with these issues in passing in my day job!

Absolutely, it is just surprising there has not been quicker action given the severity of the potential consequences.

Hopefully all will be well!

Awesome, thank you so much! I didn’t know :)

Hopefully there can be a mechanism so that anyone who is an admin or controlling data in instances knows about it and regularly is alerted to any issue which might impact GDPR compliance.

This is one reason I think there needs to be a public issue tracker and backlog.

If issues deleting data is a known issue, that means it is known Lemmy / instances cannot comply with right to be forgotten requests. I think there are also rules around informing people who have made requests why you are not taking action, how they make a complaint (in UK this is to the ICO), and that they have a right to get this enforced though legal proceedings.

It feels like it’s not just some elements not complying, it’s like a stack of things that just goes on and on!

I’m mainly avoiding it because it’s dumb
