    Everybody knows that it was bound to happen. Reddit is hopeless and the blackout on its own won’t do good in the long run.

    That’s why I’m trying to kick this out:

      If you’re EU you can All those in EU can ask reddit for the entirety of your data as a GDPR request, much easier than downloading it yourself, especially since some apps have limits to how many posts they can fetch.

      How to request your reddit data

        Asked for mine last week and still hasn’t arrived, but I’ve been an active user for 17 years so yeah, might be taking a while to get those tape backups from the basement or something :P

          They say it can take up to 30 days, so I think you have a bit more waiting to do :D

            No, no. They say it can take up to 30 days, yes.

            But that’s not the correct wording. It legally needs to be done under 30 days (well, one calendar month), if you’re a EU citizen.

            If they do not, I highly encourage you to contact your country’s data regulator and complain about it.

              Oooh, thanks for the clarification! It wasn’t clear to me it was a legal constraint.

              I haven’t submit mine yet, I was waiting for the blackout to end, but I’ll sure check my calendar and report to my data regulator if they don’t comply.

              p.s. yes I’m a EU citizen

                Well, just a heads up, I might have wrote total bullshit (sorry about that!).

                I tried to find a reference to the “one calendar month” rule in the EU’s legalese, but I didn’t find anything.

                What I found is that depending on your country, the data regulator might require services to give you your data in 30 days or less, but this might not be the case everywhere in the EU. The relevant legal article for this can be found here: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-15-gdpr/

                I am not a lawyer anyway, so your best bet would be to message an organization that fights for personal data protection to ask them about your rights in your home country.

                Sorry about the confusion once again, as I might have been wrong!

          Poor intern is in the basement writing it all down with a quill and ink. Expect the pony to arrive with your parcel in 10-14 months.

        You don’t have to be in the EU to make a GDPR request, right? If I understand correctly, they can’t actually check.

          They do know which country you’re from unless you use a VPN all the time, tho I personally wouldn’t lie (fake my IP) for something as serious as this.

          • AnasEnglish
            13•2 years ago

            They would know what country I’m currently in, but I could still be an EU citizen using a VPN or traveling outside the EU. IANAL, but I’m pretty sure my data would still be protected by GDPR.

            Granted, I am not, but the request worked anyway lol

      I did this back when the Apollo shutting down post when out from Christian. It took a bit of googling to find out how to do this so thanks for putting it all together for others. I had 10 accounts spanning all my time on Reddit since the Digg days and did a fully scorched earth on it all, because you know, fuck u/spez.

      For someone who has a really small subreddit, isn’t much of a computer person and mainly uses mobile, how would I go about importing my content here?

      Data/Content/Information now is very important (indispensable). In the Age of Information (Actually to me, the Real Cultural Start of IT upon the advent of Artificial Intelligence AI), keepers (companies of holding) of databases (such as Reddit databases) have finally found the value of it for metabolic profitability (extreme exploitation) with the help of AI, greatest ever analyses. It will be my best (after nothing happens in Reddit decision) that I will painfully LITERALLY delete all my Reddit posts, comments and even my info about myself (or why not archive on my storage for future migration and then delete on the platform itself) on the day before Reddit make undesirable changes (to not only mods+devs but also the real clients, Reddit users enjoying Reddit), so that they won’t exploit information about me further for their sinister abuse soon probably.
