~~"The content you submit is not public". They're 100% are trying to word-weasel out of gdpr Requirements~~
I'm sorry, how would that work?
I don't think it would, but I suspect they're hoping it will
To be clear, it says they clarify what content is non-public. They aren’t saying all content is non-public.
Ah true. I misread that
fr maybe opera and kunlun tech does smth like that
I hope spez takes a long trip on a leaky boat.
That's a great example of "if you're not paying for the product, you are the product". Reddit is transparently associating changes in the privacy policy with Reddit Pro, that calls itself a suite of tools "for businesses to also establish and grow a meaningful organic presence on Reddit" (translation: so corporations can astroturf the shit out of local communities).
Is lemmy an exception to the rule?
Kind of.
That saying (I wouldn't call it a "rule") applies mostly to for-profit products and services; like, if they're doing it for the money, and you aren't giving them money directly, you're doing it indirectly, and you should find how. Lemmy instances on the other hand are [mostly? all?] non-profit, it's just a bunch of users trying to nurture communities to talk about stuff that they enjoy.
I mean, the fact that it’s literally FOSS that’s run and hosted by users or groups of users kinda takes the corporate angle all the way out of it. Sure, some will try (threads, etc), but who wants to federate fucking ads?
Wtf is Reddit Pro?
Apparently its mostly tools for businesses and advertisers to get better data
It’s where you give money to spez for no good reason and he buys a big fucking yacht or something like that
Or if you’re using it for business reasons, probably some shit about targeting users with ads or whatever
idk
Reddit users will be so surprised when leopards eat their faces.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
