Firefox doesn't have this problem,only chromium browsers.

Nice!

The PWA rotation issue is really annoying, happy to see this will be fixed. :)

For now I use it to save things, since there is no save function.

So it could probably be replaced by that.

But I think it's also here for compatibility with Mastodon...

Clicking on "boost" again should remove the boost. At least that works for me.

Currently :

  • "Boost" adds reputation. It's a kind of retweet.

  • "Downvote" removes reputation

  • "Upvote" does nothing. (edit : for reputation)

This is because previously the upvote was boost, they were switched around to be similar to other fediverse systems.

Dev mentioned in another thread that the reputation system should be changed to have up/down count instead of boost/down. But they have a lot to do right now so it might not be the most pressing issue...

Same, it looks like it was just fixed.

I made some comment that I couldn't see for an hour.

Also had multiple 503 errors today so it might just be that the server is overloaded and can't procesd things correctly right now.

I'm not sure it's ok in the GDPR rules?

That would probably be related to "right to erasure".

But even this has limits, since sometimes the data can be necessary for a service (for example, you might be unable to get invoice data erased before X years, as a legal requirement)

Since messages on forums can be considered "needed" to understand a thread, it's usually advised to make all messages anonymous if a user requests complete deletion.

I guess here it's a little different, since the messages were removed by users, so it's not a gdpr request. Not sure how it works in that case.

Other issue is if the messages themselves contain personal information... Someone going through my old reddit profile could probably figure out my identity since I mentioned one of my (very uncommon) previous job a few times.

Best way to figure out how it works here would probably be to contact the gdpr authority for your country... And they might have trouble with it too.
