“But -”

Doot

This has been kicking around for so long, I wonder where it originally came from!

My cat won’t drink from her fountain if you watch her, it’s a private activity.

Sometimes moving water, too - and some are funny about material I think!

My current cat won’t drink from metal bowls, and loves a water fountain most.

My cat will only eat from a bowl when there is Amethyst and Rose Quartz crystals arranged to promote calmness, love, and emotional healing. It is literally science.

My cat only eats out of wide bowls for this reason!

She has wet food too, not all dry :)

Let’s go!

Whoever made the post won 1 million lem-coins maybe

I wonder what the one millionth post was (hopefully something dumb)

I think I fall on the side of preemptive defederation, not just because of data harvesting etc but also because the incoming communities will be huge and dwarf anything already here - look at what has happened here already as communities try to merge and establish. Everything dominant will become meta along with whatever mods and rules etc they already have in place. Scary.

In the UK a screen name is an identifier. See ICO here. I am in the UK. Therefore combined with other data being collected, e.g. IP. Lemmy and instances I interact with are handling personal data. If it is transferred between instances when I search or view content from one instance to another, there are GDPR implications.

This is just at a really high level. Take for example https://lemdro.id. I am in the UK.

• I do not get cookie information / consent
• How do I make a SAR request, it isn’t stated
• What is their data retention and privacy policy, it isn’t stated
• How do I make a data sharing request as a member of law enforcement or government
• How is data processed if I am under 16/13
• Is data transferred from an EU to non-EU server if I search their content from another instance? Are the correct controls and risk assessments in place
• If I delete my .id account under right to be forgotten, how is my request propagated between other instances to ensure my data isn’t retained somewhere on another instance which has pulled the data
• If I use an account from another instance and post an image on .id, and then delete my account, is the image I posted deleted from their server and backups etc

GDPR is very serious and an absolute minefield. I am pretty sure Lemmy and individual instances are not compliant, and I am not sure they can be fully - it may have to be on a best-endeavours basis. Be interesting to see how that holds up under a challenge.

I think this is to be expected - some instances have downvotes disabled but that doesn’t seem to be the rule of thumb.

There are quite a few questions about data retention, usage, retrieval, compliance and how it is shared which will need to be addressed as the platform grows.

Countdown for this to be monetised by someone.

It’s absolutely disgusting subscribes
