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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

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

  • [–] 12 points 3 years ago (1 child)

    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.

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

    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.
