As far as I know that‘s because earlier in development the boost actually was the upvote, but now it‘s as you‘d expect it coming from Reddit

But I think the reputation system just hasn‘t been adapted to this yet

I‘ve just heard that from someone else around here, so take it with a grain of salt

As @hamid said: An agreement exists between the US and the EU granting any citizen the right to go to court to defend their rights to their data

There‘s a summary as well as links to the actual agreements here

It‘s not intuitive, but you can find your subscriptions in the settings

In terms of features kbin is kinda lacking, but considering that it‘s basically existed only for a few months and has been developed by a single guy it‘s pretty impressive

I‘m sure new features will be added relatively quickly now that a lot of people are willing to help out

Stealing her heart is clearly better. Doesn‘t the other guy know that they‘re far more valuable?

I probably wouldn‘t remove the account itself
Otherwise you can‘t remove them again when they get restored by the admins

You ask the impossible

Hmm yeah that's true... So really the question is who decides what "sufficiently anonymized" actually means. Or what counts as personal data and what does not. Probably only a court can answer these questions since the GDPR is not very precise in that regard

I guess the best way to find out is to request deletion of all data including comments and posts, and if they don't comply then take them to court or file a complaint with your national Data Protection Authority

Since having left Reddit I've been spending a lot of time on Kbin reading through all kinds of posts. While I'm sure that there are bad eggs everywhere you go, I haven't seen much hateful posts/comments. But then again, maybe I've just missed those

Still we need to stay vigilant and report content that does not belong here

The website also states that „properly anonymized data“ is not affected by the GDPR.

The only things from that list, that should be posted on a public internet forum, are race, gender and political views anyways. And it isn‘t really possible to identify a single user based on these data points

By submitting content to Reddit you also granted them an irrevocable license to use it (according to their ToS) and Art.17, 3a of the GDPR protects data that is not identifiable from deletion

But I guess it‘s worth a try. Maybe their DPO is a nice guy

You‘re right, you can use the GDPR to delete personal data. But again, I don‘t think posts and comment are considered personal data and that they would not have to be removed since they are essential to understanding the discussion as a whole

The GDPR was never intended to be able to destroy information, just to protect the privacy of users. So as long as there‘s no information that could identify a user in their posts/comments (which no one should make publicly available anyways) then Reddit is under no obligation to delete the content you generated. They only have to disassociate it from your account, which they do by displaying the username as „deleted“
