    Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person[15]

    The “directly or indirectly” part is important here, a username is a constant identifier between a user’s posts and comments

    Given comments and posts are free text input, there’s no way of knowing the entire set of a user’s content doesn’t contain PII, unless an admin wants to spend the time combing through and determining which posts definitely contain PII and which definitely don’t, they should delete it all. The data subject does not need to make specific listings of what they want deleted, the onus is on the service owner to be able to process the deletion request completely and within a timely manner.



  • Was gonna say, I’m sat on 2.2k comments apparently in about 15 months, which is surprising to me given I probably only comment on about half the days in any given week.

    I will say compared to Reddit though, I tend to be more likely to comment here because there’re fewer people here and I want it to feel active enough for more people to continue joining (either lemmy in general, or just on smaller communities that don’t have a lot of activity yet).













  • As someone who helped run a few video game forums back in the mid-00’s, it was pretty common for a pure forum to start posting blog or article content if it didn’t already as a way of attracting people to the forum. Once this happened you needed to share that content to sites like digg, del.icio.us & Reddit in order for people to actually discover it and then consider joining the forum community.

    Problem is it eventually just pushed people to consume from those sites and join the meta-community there rather than actually engaging in the community back at the site itself.

    After that, the standard conglomeration you get when there’s only a few players left happened and thus we ended up with Reddit being what it was for the last decade.

    Most of those sites were community first, content generation second and once the community dried up, the sites all died
