    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.

          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.

          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.

          The DMCA is used “successfully” with even less grounds on YouTube every day. But I suppose the difference lies in not being a mega corporation.

            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.

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

                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 [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

                  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!

          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.

    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.

        Yeah the issue with my sub is we’ve worked really hard to create the community we have. A lot of our users won’t leave. I’ve decided to use an automod sticky comment on every post letting everyone know where the rest of our official pages are. I have seen very little migration unfortunately.

        We decided as a mod team to keep our sub open. We’re all migrating off Reddit but we’re keeping our accounts for our one singular sub.

          Most people don’t pay attention to things around them and don’t tend to care unless it directly impacts them.

          As long as you and other mods are carrying on in your roles, these people have no motivation to move.

          If the subbreddits stop being moderated it will generally degrade the experience, people will become impacted and then be forced to take notice.

          This is the gamble, someone might step up, they might decide leaving reddit is too high a price or you might cause people to migrate.

        It wasn’t just 2 days though? 2 days blackout was the first part. I mean, we’re literally in a thread about a sub being punished for continuing their protest and they’re not the only sub.

        IMO it was always the right move to start with a limited protest. Giving users a chance to vote on next steps easily lets them counter reddit’s claims that people wanted the protest to end.

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

      Jannies have never been good at relating to people, and reddit admins are like the jannies’ janny. Ban-happiness is inevitable.

      Forums are an interesting model for real life human social structures. If you operate your social structural group in such a way that the only way of meting out punishment is exclusion, eventually you can create an outgroup that becomes a threatening competitor.

      When your containment board is another website, you lose.

    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.
