Nice! Glad to see more options popping up!

But some Democratic lawmakers and advocates aren't so sure. Reps. Ro Khanna and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been among the Democrats who have publicly pushed Biden to extend the pause should the Supreme Court strike down the broad debt cancellation.

"Resuming student debt payments in the middle of an affordability crisis is unconscionable. President Biden needs to deliver on his promise to cancel student debt," Khanna wrote on Twitter.

Ocasio-Cortez previously said in an interview with Politico that it's "very important the administration has a plan that is an actual response in the event of" the Supreme Court overturning student-debt relief.

Now call me crazy, but isn't this something that the legislature would be empowered to do as well? I want to see the bills that these reps have put forth to address the issue.

That would be my suggestion as well. There's a chance that all reddit users will be part of the class, but there's also a chance that only users who attempted to delete data or request that data be deleted will be part of the class.

Attempt to edit and/or delete a few of your comments at the very least and prepare for the class action lawsuit. It'll probably take a couple years, but there's no way that some law firm isn't already looking into it and gearing up to start the process. There's a particular law firm that I follow that has gotten some really good settlements from social media companies such as this one against facebook. I would believe that if anyone decides to take on a data privacy issue against a large social media company, it would be them.

Basically what we already know. Reddit is restoring comments that have been deleted by users possibly in violation of data privacy laws.

Louis goes a little farther by sharing the story of one particular user who tried multiple ways to delete their content including manually deleting every single comment one by one. Then to answer Reddit's response that user data is "anonomized" by disassociating it with the user account when the user deletes their account, the user points out that at least one of their posts has their full name in it, and by restoring that post against the user's wishes, they've violated California's data privacy laws.

He then goes into his typical cynical rant which I personally find entertaining but I know he rubs a lot of people the wrong way.

When RIF said they were shutting down, I took the icon off my home screen. Haven't been back since. Reddit was something I did when I was bored. Kind of like reading a newspaper or magazine. I didn't need it abs still don't. And now we have communities forming elsewhere like here on Kbin and on Lemmy that I can join, and can have a better experience while doing it.

Yeah, so long Reddit and thanks for all the fish.

depends on the desires of the majority of the community I would say. If the majority of the community says they want to change the community, then who are we to disagree? I'd vote for the change. Unfortunately for that vote, I haven't been on Reddit since before the blackout. The only reason I'll be going back will be to delete some/all of my posts.

I've noticed this too. I think it might be when the comment has fallen to a second page.

Plot twist: The AI can detect pirate speak and uses these posts to write dialogue for a pirate character based on a prompt.

Can't wait for the pirate bluebeard to speak about where his buried API is.

To be fair, I tend to agree with you. I don't think the software itself has anything to do with their political ideologies since it really isn't a commercial endeavor. I was just identifying it as a common objection that I read.

And you're absolutely right, people are free to choose an independent instance or start their own if they have any concerns about the owner of an instance or how it is moderated. And after all, isn't that what this is all about?

I half believe that he's a time traveler and has seen the future. In that future, Twitter lead to significant damage to human population as a whole, and that the only way Elon can save the future is by destroying Twitter and driving it into the ground until it becomes 4chan 2.0

Lots of people take issue with the political leanings of the Lemmy developers which may be why it's lower on the list, although I agree that it is more established.

In any case, that's the beauty of the fediverse. Create an account on both, or choose just one and cross-subscribe to communities you like.

You're being linked directly to the community on its own instance. In this case you want to view it from this instance, and there are some issues with automatic link formatting right now. If you want to go to the community (magazine) from here, you can put /m/communityName in the url i.e. kbin.social/m/showerthoughts@lemmy.world
