Idea: Governments maintain a list of entities that are evading the law like that, and then doesn’t prosecute people who are accused of crimes against such entities. The idea being that if you place yourself outside of the law’s reach, you also place yourself outside of the law’s protection.

Maybe they should be investigated for all the child porn they used to host
ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 1 year ago
To this day, I still can’t believe how long Reddit defended underage porn subreddits. Literally do nothing and say “free speech” . Then suddenly a news article happens and then they finally take action.

If I’m not having a whoosh moment, the fact they have bases in Ireland and the Netherlands very much sounds like they’re operating a Double Irish Dutch Sandwich.

I’m banned from Reddit after wishing someone would get the death penalty for murdering a child.
werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Tied on a rope made from putin? Yup. I got banned too.
over_clox@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, probably not the best opinion to express on Reddit, or most other sites for that matter. Even if I might happen to agree with you, that’s always gonna strike a nerve with quite a few people out there.

If anything, the Dutch will enforce more laws on them
Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The moved their jurisdiction to the Netherlands? In the EU? Wow. Now the GDPR can be used to really kick their butts.
Miaou@jlai.lu 1 year ago
GDPR applies regardless of where headquarters are located
Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 year ago
There is always the issue of “x applies” and “x is enforcable”. Think of Signal or Telegram here.
kent_eh@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Yes, but it’s easier to enforce EU regulations when the headquarters happens to be within the EU.
Mubelotix@jlai.lu 1 year ago
They would be forced to delete all messages of all deleted users
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Aren’t there tax benefits to incorporating in Ireland? Conventional thought would suggest that the tax/regulatory environment in the Netherlands would be less attractive? Maybe that’s wrong… I wonder what their reasons for moving were. Is that where Steve Huffman wants to build his new doomsday bunker? Gotta spread out just in case. Maybe connect it to the one in CA with a massive underwater tunnel lol.

Oh we got a bunch of leeches in Europe, Ireland is not the only one

It moved from Ireland to the Netherlands, both are in the EU. This will not change anything regarding GDPR.

Why does anyone still use reddit? Why does anyone still use Twitter? Why does anyone still use Instagram?
mechoman444@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Why does anyone still use chrome!
I get twitter and reddit because of the uniqueness of the platforms but chrome is just a web browser! Any other program can be used in its stead to view the same exact websites yet people continue to use it even being stubborn about it!
Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 year ago
Because people dream of making it big, being viral, being an influencer with a ton of followers and money. That one second of fame is still tantalising to a lot of people.
Also a lot of these apps (not reddit, but the others like Facebook) are installed on phones by default. To many, they are just what the internet is.
Nana and grandad used to do email. Now it’s just racist rainbowflag-phobic reposting on Facebook and wondering why their grandkids that haven’t looked at FB in a decade don’t contact them.
RxBrad@infosec.pub 1 year ago
A lot of stuff ONLY has viable Q&A discussion there…
As much as I love the idea of Lemmy, try finding active communities here for: MAME or any other videogame emulation… Plex… The breed of your family dog/cat… Most any sort of non-Fedi-focused brand/podcast/personality…
Yes, I can create a new community. Then I just sit in it by myself, and occasionally deal with spam.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 year ago
Discoverability is poor on Lemmy and isn’t helped by the low user count.
Would be nice to revisit an old idea from Newsgroups, where you could sub to gaming and see everything, or gaming.playstation.ps5 or gaming.emulation.mame or whatever for sub-communities.
But then the decentralised nature works against it there as well.
johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Because social networks are only as good as the people who are on them.
HighFructoseLowStand@lemm.ee 1 year ago
As someone who only recently joined Lemmy (as a result of getting booted from Reddit) it ultimately comes down to it being bigger.
You can talk regularly about series have been over for a decade. Just about any niche interest has a vibrant community. The reality is the average person doesn’t care about it selling our data, putting a fingerprint on our gear one step above spyware, it being overrun with bots, every level of administration being dominated by megalomaniacs. If you just want to look through some stuff you’re interested in while you’re bored, it serves a purpose that lemmy unfortunately can’t at it’s size.
dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
Most people don’t care. I’m sick of hearing about Reddit, I left because I do care but I don’t want to keep hearing about my ex, you know!
We are not important, we are the minority that maybe cares about these things and that’s ok, we should live our lives the way we want to and allow others to do the same.
corvuscache@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Agreed. Yes, it’s important to know what’s going on in the “big” world - but I wish all of us more interested in Lemmy, the small web, and so on spent more time and energy on creating, maintaining, and enjoying what we can build/use and less lamenting, bashing, or wishing for what we want to leave behind.
desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
reddit has half functioning search.
pixelscript@lemm.ee 1 year ago
This is basically asking why anyone would live in or near a city like Los Angeles or New York City when Minot exists and has everything you could possibly need.
If you had to look up where Minot even is, you’ve proven my point.
Say what you will about whether living near the proverbial big city is worth it or not. But it cannot be denied, there is a world of experiences on offer at larger platforms that a smaller platform simply cannot provide. Network effect can be a cruel mistress.
Squizzy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Overall, because Lemmy is slow and boring mostly. I see headlines here and go to Reddit for the comments through the geddit crawler.
TheBrideWoreCrimson@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
I gotta disagree with you here. At least on the sub(s) that I still - on the occasion of big events - take a glance at. To me, Reddit comments are the epitome of staleness and predictability. Also, their user base seems like a bunch of 40-year-old dads that mentally peaked at 16, but keep getting more racist by the year.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
I use it for porn still
itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
first Tumblr banned porn, then Reddit requires sign-in for 18+ content (I know old UI bypasses that), and now Twitter has become a walled garden as well. Bad times for gooners

You don’t know why someone would use a social link aggregator… and you’re lamenting about this on a social link aggregator.
Why are you here?
gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Almost like they asked about a specific site and not the concept of link aggregators or something
lemmeBe@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Exactly. Really incomprehensible why are some people amazed at some things. We’re all different, with different motives, different needs, different levels of coziness and different views on privacy etc.

What’s wrong with Instagram now?
secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago
Centralized and owned by meta. Harvesting your data constantly. Ads upon ads that track you. Proprietary.

Friends and memes to repost on Lemmy
thisphuckinguy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, Reddit is not rhetorical ghost town I thought it would be after the mass exodus.
RxBrad@infosec.pub 1 year ago
It’s still active – save the communities that got kneecapped by mods during the revolt (and sadly, most of those are now Discord-based rather than having any appreciable activity here).
The activity there now is a lot… dumber. Like much of the internet, the ratio of real people to braindead bots on Reddit is a lot different than a few years ago.
lemmeBe@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Like we had a secret (or not so secret) desire for it to crumble so we can crack a beer and say good riddance. 😁
But in the end, business mostly as usual.

I don’t get why more people didn’t move to Lemmy or mbin
Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 1 year ago
For Twitter it really doesn’t make sense because it has become undebatably a “Nazi bar”, metaphorically since they aren’t an actual bar, but they still support and tolerate Nazis (and other manners of horrible people). Some people insist that it isn’t and there are “normal level headed people there” but that doesn’t matter, it’s still a Nazi bar, because it accepts and tolerates Nazis. How can someone expect to not be judged for going to and hanging out in a place like that?

Sounds like another case of US tech companies fucking with the web of EU regulations to nobody’s benefit but their own.
It’s no wonder they moved to another tax haven. Sorry, sorry. The EU doesn’t have tax havens according to their own rules. Low tax threshold telegraphic jurisdictions.

brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It requires them to restrict certain categories of video, so that users cannot share content on cyberbullying, promoting eating disorders, promotion of self harm or incitement to hatred on a number of grounds.
Wow, what a horrible, restraining overreach.
I am shedding tears for the 1.2% engagement loss this would cost Reddit next quarter. Imagine what they have to pay devs for filtering abusive videos!
(I hate to sound so salty, but its mind boggling that they would fight this so vehemently).
