Also, specific to the role of Speaker, he’s disqualified due to having been indicted of felonies with a term of more than two years.

or prison for the chump you suckered into cheap labour.

I'm not seeing the 'or' bit. The article says the driver was already sentenced to nine years back in 2019. So it might be prison and deportation.

It also says he was a new permanent resident when the crime was committed. I'm surprised how they can so easily deport someone who has PR.

allow this situation to happen and all its gonna be is a civil fine for you

Alas, this is the real problem. And this case/hearing isn't going to affect the precedent on that, it will only affect the precedent for the future chumps.

Reddit faces content quality concerns after its Great Mod Purge in c/[email protected]

Reddit's approach to replacement mod appointments has further damaged community trust in Reddit

Interesting that an article owned by the holding company of reddit (Arstechnica and reddit are both owned by Conde Nast) would be so critical of reddit.

Reddit Activity Plummeted After The Protests - by Adam Bumas in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The one thing I never understood is why did the Oliver subs go back to normal instead of sticking with Oliver. Finally, interest was lost in the Oliver jokes and traffic was going down. So it would have been the perfect time to enforce Oliver and cut into the ads traffic that way. News articles at the time didn't show any indication that this was another moved forced by reddit admins so why did the mods seemingly cave in without cause?

The Kbin Experience. The Best Worst Way to Interact with the Fediverse. in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

IIRC the official reason was that some automated anti-spam code accidentally caught the kbin user agent and mistakenly added it to a block list, and the lemmy.ml admins were busy and didn't see it for over a week - but once one of them noticed it was promptly fixed.

Also, I recall this being specific to lemmy.ml - other instances run by other admins like lemmy.world and lemmy.ca weren't affected.

Thank you @ernest for all you do and all you have done!

Absolutely do not want to see you run yourself into the ground over kbin matters, your family and your health come first.

I don't question your judgement, but I think the "step down" bit is a bit extreme, even if you fail to meet the deadline. Worst case, maybe let the community appoint a second-in-command temporarily to get some things moving along while you take a well deserved break?

Are there any mods in here? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

If you check out the modlog, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/modlog you can see that @Shortcake last did some moderation activity six days ago, deleting and blocking stuff from federated user imona at kbin.melroy.org

I think the admins like @ernest wouldn't do anything at this point, since the mod reappeared somewhat recently to reclaim the mantle. Instead, we need to figure out how to reach out to Shortcake and figure out how to get moderation more active here again.

Hopefully they just haven’t thought about that yet

I'm actually happy to give a vote of confidence in @Shortcake who did a great job moderating this magazine in the beginning.

If that individual would just return to checking this magazine more frequently, I'm happy to leave things as-is.

But if that's not possible, hopefully Shortcake will appoint someone as a third mod soon so this magazine can get cleaned up. (Speak of - any volunteers?)

POLL: Should we sticky some PSA? We need to warn folks about reddit's trickery. (kbin.social)
 

Should we sticky some articles?

Followup to https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/84223/How-to-get-the-word-out-on-how-to-delete

Today I saw a handful of posts from folks who were trying to delete all their content from reddit, including another person who failed and now can't delete their content after their account was deleted.

I am thinking of two options here.

First, as per the title, we can sticky the best articles made in this magazine, so the first thing a new joiner sees is the warning about the 1000 index limit and the second on how to overcome it.

The other way would be to stick an article referring folks to a new magazine. If you look at the first article ever to this magazine from the owner, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/12303/Welcome-to-RedditMigration , this magazine was meant to cover all things, news as well as technical questions.

However, I fear that the high volume of important news is drowning out the technical aspects. Therefore, it may make sense to copy or link some content into a separate magazine so it is easier to find and to refer to.

Not to split the magazine, more like a BestOfRedditMiggirationTechnicalAnswers if that makes sense.

Thoughts folks? Especially interested in hearing about this idea from the mods @tchambers & @Shortcake

Great work by the mods. They maliciously comply with reddit by posting an open letter reminding subscribers to tag NSFW appropriately on their content and especially point out that if folks forgot to do this then this will force them under reddit's own existing rules to go NSFW.

Post ban and deletion weirdness (kbin.social)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

After deleting my account, which was permabanned, on old dot reddit dot com it still shows up with the user suspended message.

On regular reddit dot com on a desktop browser, it instead shows up as blocked. I can continue to view the profile, but then it just says something went wrong and no content shows up. (Because it's not there, it was deleted!)

Great job reddit, you can't even handle deleted accounts properly!

Maybe Reddit’s slowing revenue growth is partially responsible for the company trying to lock things down. - The Verge (www.theverge.com)
 

According to The Information, Reddit’s revenues were up 38 percent in 2022, but that’s down from the “more than doubling of revenue” it saw from 2020 to 2021. That said, The Information says Reddit still earned “about $670 million” in revenues last year. I don’t know if getting back the $10 million in “pure infrastructure costs” CEO Steve Huffman told me that it takes to support third-party apps is going to make all that much of a difference.

As Reddit Crushes Protests, Its User Traffic Returns to Normal (www.pcmag.com)

User visits and time spent on the social media platform normalize after traffic to Reddit briefly dipped last week during the blackout, according to SimilarWeb.

Edit: but also see https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/88139/Reddit-traffic-returning-normal-sort-of which explains that ad visits are still waaay down - and continue going downhill.

How to get the word out on how to delete everything on Reddit? (kbin.social)
 

So reddit has a 1000 index limit, which fools you. You think you deleted everything and your profile is empty.

But you didn't get it all.

I keep seeing articles like https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/77406/Why-doesn-t-power-delete-suite-edit-all-my-comments and https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/79420/Would-reporting-my-deleted-comments-to-mods-help-get-them

We need to get the word out. There is a way to delete all of your posts and comments, and it doesn't need to rely on a GDPR request to reddit (though having the GDPR archive certainly helps).

More importantly though, we need to get the word out about the 1k limit. This almost got me too - luckily I had a few posts where I had commented, so I could see even though all my comments were taken care of in my profile, that some comments got missed, because I still saw them on my posts.

But how can we do this? How do we make sure to spread the word so folks don't misunderstand tools like PDS and then wonder why a bunch of their content is still up; even worse, that they already deleted their account and now have no way to go back and take it from reddit.

What can we do? Ideas?
