  • Politics is not just the relationship between two people, it’s the relationship between a person and everyone/everything else in the world.

    Reducto ad absurdum: would you suggest a world where every country is at war with everyone else would foster a better environment for global FOSS collaboration than one where the world was at complete peace?

    I honestly thought the statement you quoted was entirely uncontroversial. “Healthy” and “global” being the key words, I’m not saying it’s a requirement for FOSS to exist in general or anything.







  • From your link

    Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person[15]

    The “directly or indirectly” part is important here, a username is a constant identifier between a user’s posts and comments

    Given comments and posts are free text input, there’s no way of knowing the entire set of a user’s content doesn’t contain PII, unless an admin wants to spend the time combing through and determining which posts definitely contain PII and which definitely don’t, they should delete it all. The data subject does not need to make specific listings of what they want deleted, the onus is on the service owner to be able to process the deletion request completely and within a timely manner.



  • Was gonna say, I’m sat on 2.2k comments apparently in about 15 months, which is surprising to me given I probably only comment on about half the days in any given week.

    I will say compared to Reddit though, I tend to be more likely to comment here because there’re fewer people here and I want it to feel active enough for more people to continue joining (either lemmy in general, or just on smaller communities that don’t have a lot of activity yet).
