They really scared about Lemmy? Being so blatant about this shit... I have learned the following:
-
They do not like subreddits going NSFW it makes them no money. I for one welcome all furries and rule 34 artwork to Reddit.
-
They do not like people promoting Lemmy, any kind of competition gets them trying every tactic they can muster, playing all their cards now.
-
They do not like people deleting or removing data from Reddit. You know what would suck? A GDPR deletion request... That would be a real damn shame. No data to sell then lol

Don't tempt me, lol.
Thatβs how I left Twitter. GDPR request for a full copy of all my content. Then a GDPR request to delete account.
All these points are correct imo

Looks like it's not that easy
I just want to add that as a European citizen you also have a right to get a copy of all your data, and an explanation how and when this data has been used.
Also, I'm pretty sure that their response "you first have to delete your comments manually" does not comply with EU guidelines.
Also found this blog post and made the request to Reddit for GDPR data removal. However I removed comments by using the Power delete suite (https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite).
After few hours got email (similar as in the blog post) from reddit and followed by the instructions given in email (basically send as a reddit message confirming account deletion). Few hours passed again and got confirmation email from Reddit "Weβve now flagged your account for irreversible deletion. Please allow some time for this action to complete."
Basically not much effort needed in case you're willing to remove the comments (etc) manually or using scripts, extensions, etc.
However not sure if it would be GDPR compliant for Reddit to leave the comments if the user data is wiped out even if the username is removed from the posts.

I am ALL for this!! I was a sync pro user for years!! Miss that app now that I'm done with reddit.
Sync was Reddit for me.
Reddit dies in my mind when Reddit Sync is no more (I'm gonna patch it with revanced)
If Sync lives on in Lemmy, that's gosh dang amazing
Jerboa is cool and all, but it's no Sync :)

Oh god, the loss of Sync was legitimately the straw that broke reddit's back for me. I would instantly pay Laurence for this
this is the way
Let's be patient with this and not give him a hard time. For those of you who haven't used Sync before, there was a major update a while back which caused strong emotions from many people and caused the developer to take a hiatus. Please be patient and kind and the result will be worth it!
which caused strong emotions from many people and caused the developer to take a hiatus.
This is why we can't have nice things.
It was so sad because you could tell he put so much work into it. But like a good dev he listened to feedback and ended up allowing it to be customized to how I liked it originally.
I used it just some months ago and discovered the best thing ever, care to explain the drama?
It had to do with how the cards were presented and how the quick menu and swipe up/down worked. I preferred the previous way but the new way worked just fine. Just took an extra click to use it how I wanted.
It came down to changing how it looked / worked after everyone was already used to how it currently was. People get upset for no good reason sometimes and this was one of those times.
Yeah we need to leave that in the past and not repeat a fiasco like that. The community could have handled that much better. I'm just thankful for the support from lj.
Canβt wait for good Lemmy apps. The web experience has left a lot to be desired. The main feed doesnβt even have side-scrolling turned off. You try to scroll down on your phone and wind up pulling the page sideways.
Hell yes! Sync was my reddit app of choice, and I will for sure migrate to this full time once it is out!
Woo! I may actually spend more time on the Fediverse. I was a RiF user, but I'll happily pay for Sync and spend more time here too.
Reddit says r/SyncForLemmy is an unreviewed sub and that I should open it in their app.
Lmao what? They can't even stick to their deadline and need to expedite the inconvenience?
Hell yeah
Would definitely be interested in Sync for Lemmy! I've been switching back and forth from Lemmy's web UI, and the Jerboa app. I like Jerboa, but it has been a bit buggy and in some ways isn't as good as the web UI, and I think the developer of Jerboa is too busy with improving the Lemmy API to focus on Jerboa.
I used Sync for Reddit for a long time, and really liked it. I did eventually move on to Boost for Reddit, but now that I'm moving away from Reddit in general. I'd like to see more options for Lemmy apps.
It's happening it's happening it's happening
Huzzah! I had only just voted earlier today in the sync subreddit for a lemmy app and already @ljdawson@lemmy.world is on the case. You rock dude!
Just hooked up messaging and username mentions.
Cheers!
Wow cant even veiw that page on the web. Go away reddit.
Now I just need RIF for lemmy. Multiple fediverse accounts ie lemmy and kbin on one feed?

I used Sync for years before I moved to iPhone. I would love to get back into Sync, I'm all for this!
Yes! This is great news. Used sync pro for years. Top app and developer.
