This will be referring to recently introduced laws essentially banning all/any abortion to be carried out (in some states even in extreme cases like rape/incest, or to save the life of the mother), but outside of that an illegal abortion might be due to it being done later in the pregancy than is legal, or without following required processes e.g. requirements to get scans first, alert the father, or have a consultation (most of which are often just traumatising anti-choice measures). Also as you say, using an unlicensed practitioner or unsafe method, yeah. Which aside from money, is sometimes due to fears of repercussion from their community or partner about either the pregancy or getting an abortion, so they seek back-door options or try to do it themselves without proper care.

Yet another reason to be annoyed about Brexit
If you federate with Threads, dont Meta have that federated user and content data cached on their servers? Producing content outside of Threads and posting it to Threads still gives them content, and information about you. Much like how people without Facebook accounts still have shadow profiles from being featured in Facebook users' pictures and posts. The only solution seems to be (though maybe I misunderstand) not to federate or engage with Threads servers. This would be too philosophical a point for the vast majority of Internet, and especially ex-Twitter, users. Mastodon instances would have to explicitly defederate which could kill their userbase if the traffic flows to Threads, which it did in a matter of hours.
I didn't see this until just now! No notification outside of the app, my inbox inside the app got a (1) unread icon when I refreshed earlier.
Is there a /c/nothowgirlswork yet...?
Notifications have been very spotty for me on Jerboa (not tried the others) but they are implemented. Just not always effectual for some reason.
I'm not sure they're 100% GDPR compliant on their approach to user account & data deletion tbh. But I'm not sure and I'm not a lawyer or anything.
Basically their approach to deletion is (or at least, was) that you can ask them to deactivate your account. After this, it cannot be reactivated, your username is unavailable. However, if you want all your comments/content to be deleted, you have to go through and do it manually (this would take me months, personally...) before deactivating your account. If you deactivated your account already, your data and content is still there and you can't go back and delete it (your comments and posts are now disassociated from your dead username). Admins can't reopen your account and can't (or won't) delete it themselves.
This would theoretically be sort of okay, but what we're seeing is that your manual comment/post deletion must only be a 'soft delete' because admins can clearly restore your deleted or modified comments. I'm unsure if they would be able to do this whether you deactivate your account or not - I can't remember if those who have had this happen deleted their accounts before the posts were changed back. However I'm not sure if there's anything more they would do to actually delete your user data if you email legal@reddit.com with a specific GDPR request under art 17 (right to be forgotten). I can't find that online quickly.
I think this would only apply if you are an EU or UK citizen? If you're Californian you could refer to CCPA regulation. A couple other states have different privacy laws too that may help but they're all different. It may be worth posting on a Privacy or legaladvice community on here to ask what Reddit's approach is and if it holds up.
? It was a 48h protest. So yes they're still dark on the 13th. They were scheduled to return tomorrow, on the 14th (and some were thinking about staying dark for longer, depending on reddit's response).
Maybe I am being pessimistic, but asking volunteer reddit mods to drop tools for more than 48h during such an interesting time for the platform is feeling about as realistic as asking your alcoholic uncle to stay sober at a wedding reception with an open bar. Can they really stay away?
Does anyone know if you can hide posts in Jerboa? This post and a lemmy.one welcome post are pinned at the top of my feeds, and they take up a lot of room visually. I'd also like to hide posts I've already seen, as on smaller communities I only want to see the occasional new posts, not see the same post from 3 days ago every time.
I didn't know about kbin before making a Lemmy account, and Lemmy is the one being spread around Reddit as an alternative site. It then only comes up through an occasional comment on certain communities (meta ones) that the Lemmy devs hold particular views, it's easy to browse a lot of content without finding that out. That's probably the major reason.
You still need to sign up to/log into Threads (via Instagram) to have a Threads account or be active on there though, so what makes it theoretical? If they counted all Instagram accounts as Threads accounts it'd instantly be in the billions surely.
