They also suspended all our accounts for 7 days.

As the original creator and designer of the logo and banner, I also filed a DMCA against the further use of the r/TIHI logo on reddit.

    Unfortunately that has no chance of succeeding. When you sign up to reddit, you give them a license to use the content you submit. It's in the user agreement, section 5 "Your Content": https://www.redditinc.com/policies/user-agreement

    Under GDPR you have the right to your content, including data download and revocation. If you are banned from or restricted access to a website it doesn't strip you of that right. However the complain should have probably been through GDPR and not DMCA.

    No, under the GDPR you don't have the right to have your content removed. You have the right to have personally identifiable data removed, things like names, IP addresses, phone numbers, ...

    I'll link to the EU website that explains what they mean with personal data below, but I don't think a logo qualifies under their definition.

    This doesn't hold any grounds in the EU as copyrights can't be waived, and unless you got paid for it, you can withdraw consent at any time.

    You don't waive your copyright. You grant a license to reddit to use your content.

    Read the link, it's all there:

    You retain any ownership rights you have in Your Content, but you grant Reddit the following license to use that Content:

    This doesn't apply unless you got compensated for your work. Reddit can add anything they like in their agreements, but that won't hold in court.

    The artist can withdraw consent at any time.

    You are confused. What you are describing applies to transferring copyright, not for granting a license while retaining the copyright.

    If things worked the way you described, free software, for example licensed through the GPL, couldn't exist because then the authors could always take away the users' rights by retroactively revoking their license. Fortunately, it doesn't work that way.

    There are cases where artists withdrew consent and their work had to be taken down, and to my knowledge all contracts can be amended or cancelled, especially if they're exploitative like reddits. You have a right to compensation if they profit off of your creative work, be it artwork, music, or writing.

    Do you intend to try and move the community somewhere else, e.g. here?

    Yes, we are already talking about that in the mod team. Happy to find a new home in kbin, we were all pretty much done by this point

    Hi, another of the mods who got nuked.

    TIHI had a place saved here yesterday (because I didn't trust Spez) and is going by the name TIHI! (Marvel at my creativity.)

    I'm waiting on the kbin developer to tell me WHY I can't add Pfhali, Davis, Blank, Sezar and Funkadelic_Toaster, but once he does the whole team will be back and we will be making the sub just like before.

    Before the NSFW I mean.

    Did you already send Ernest a message? I've noticed he's really good at responding to messages he's just really busy at the moment for obvious reasons haha. Also weird that you can't add others to be mods on the magazine I haven't seen others have any issues with that yet, wonder if it's a bug on that one magazine for some reason

    Here meaning TIHI@kbin.social? How do I sub or join or whatever it is I do now?

    You can do like in reddit, expect instead of r/tihi you go m/tihi (since they're magazines here, if it was on lemmy the url would've been c/tihi since they're called communities).
    TLDR; go to kbin.social/m/tihi and hit subscribe on the sidebar.

    You are on lemmy so you have to search for !TIHI@kbin.social (note the exclamation mark) to subscribe. Or if someone else on your instance already follows just go to lemmy.nz/c/TIHI@kbin.social
    Edit: Federation between kbin and lemmy is still a bit unstable so you might need to wait a few hours for it to show up

    From what I can tell, this is all kbin. The user is @kbin and this is a kbin magazine.

    I feel like you're on Lemmy and didn't realize this is all kbin lol.

    Unless I'm wrong and missing something, let me know!

    Edit: nevermind, I just understood what you meant with your message. You can disregard mine lol.

    I want to try something... Less involved in getting me on more lists.

    Honestly, people posting unrelated trash to subreddits with new moderators would be good. A dozen new moderators against thousands of non-bots just posting shit to reddit would be fun to try to moderate.

    Not even rule breaking stuff so you can contribute more than once. Like submitting wikihow articles for laying down floor tiles in TIHI. and upvoting other posts that don't belong.

    Reporting misinformation in r/conservative (in good faith) worked for me.
