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.

Thanks, I Love It.

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 79 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's great to hear. I'll be subscribing ASAP.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago (8 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

On this note I want to say a big thank you to all our mod team, they did an excellent job all these years!
I'll be thankful for everything they have done.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Here meaning [email protected]? How do I sub or join or whatever it is I do now?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Yep, right here! Just search TIHI and...your guess is as good as mine 😂

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

You are on lemmy so you have to search for [email protected] (note the exclamation mark) to subscribe. Or if someone else on your instance already follows just go to lemmy.nz/c/[email protected]
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

Well done.

In 7 days I'm going to speedrun a permanent account ban.

Time to go nuclear.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

All mods on r/TIHI have been removed

They also suspended all our accounts for 7 days.

Well at least they are focused on the topic of your ex-sub.

It's easy for them to attack the remaining subreddits when half of reddit, bent the knee at the slightest threat of having mod powers removed. Imagine how hard it would have been to do this if a majority of subreddits had stuck together.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes there’s an element of people not wanting to lose their power. But for every dickhead powermod there are dozens of small subreddits with a handful of people working hard to establish and maintain a community, largely altruistically and thanklessly.

Modding, when it’s done well by dedicated people with a passion for their subject, can be incredibly powerful. There are some communities (eg legaladvice, askhistorians) that are unique and just couldn’t exist without those people dedicating untold hours to tending to them to prevent them from descending into chaos. Not to mention the custom tools almost all of them rely on.

Have a read of Legaladviceuk announcement.

More than half the subs are modded by the same handful of power mods. No way they would give that up, they’re probably government run accounts anyway.

That was some weak ass protest anyway. Let's protest for just 2 days! No wonder Steve Huffman just gloated about it all over and even called the mods "landed gentry"

Reddit: "we will make up whatever rules we want, whenever we want, so that we can keep funding the payments on our BMWs"

Normally, companies try and implement changes in their product in a diplomatic way, but I guess Reddit never got that memo.

Since when they have a rule to prevent SFW subs from turning into NSFW subs? Did they add the clause just recently?

spez and his jackbooted thugs are doing everything they can to burn reddit to the ground before July 1.

I like how you're in trouble for allowing NSFW posts in a sfw community, oh but also you're not allowed to mark things NSFW.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Typical dogshit from Reddit admins, holy shit it gets worse every day

This subreddit is unmoderated. Visit /r/redditrequest to request it.

Holly shit! I'm going to get some popcorn.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As one of the former mods, I am REALLY hoping someone turns it into a hate sub for Steven Kings acclaimed book and the not so acclaimed films.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

The fact that the whole mods team got wiped out means none of them are scabs. Hat off for holding your ground.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

You are free to do whatever you want with your subreddit as long as do do exactly the things we tell you to do

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Stop giving them content for free, they are milking you like cows. That's why they are restoring your deleted content, because they are making cash out of your messages. Leave reddit behind and enter the fediverse.

This is becoming dystopian

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

r/aboringdystopia ehhh I mean, c/? I wonder if those guys are here yet, gonna go search.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

All the more reason to never use reddit again, even if they revert the API pricing

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (4 children)

What was the TIHI subreddit about? (I don't want to even go to reddit to find out. Blocked that site).

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Thanks, I Hate It

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks I hate it! It's whatever stuff that makes you say that.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

So, it's about reddit admin decisions?

A user on tildes describes how to go scorched earth for mods:

  • Turn off all spam filtering
  • Disable minimum karma requirements
  • Allow all posts, disable all rules
  • Unban all banned users
  • Purge all allowed submitters
  • Turn off AutoModerator, Scrub all configs
  • Delete all CSS and uploaded images/maps
  • Blank all sidebars, Delete all flairs
  • Allow NSFW content, Enable sub's content on /all
  • Set the sub's color scheme on mobile to something vomit-inducing
  • Blank all of the text options such as the sub's topic listing
  • Grab a copy of anything in the wikis worth saving
  • Disable and permanently remove all third party mod tools and bots
  • Invite all users to the moderation team with full comment/submission privs
  • GDPR request for their own account data and then
  • Use it to delete their accounts and all of their content

The options in bold, they have no defense for. That's where the pressure points lie. The rest they can cope with, but not those options, not if lots of subs and users go that route.

Fight back. Make reddit admin lives as difficult as possible.
