ChrislyBearReddit sent me invitations to their IPO to my "deleted" accounts! That's a GDPR violation!
I haven’t used my reddit account the API change, beyond maybe 3 or 4 comments. I got an invite. How the fuck was I one of their top 35k most active users? Seems like their site isnt nearly as active as they’re claiming
AppoxoKarma was a relevant factor. I guess if yoi had a good amount of karma it may have contributed to it.
It’s based in Karma. Since I had over 200k I was invited in the first group even though I hadn’t logged in since the change.
Yeah I just got an invite as well, I had over 100k karma and I haven’t logged in since the protest that brought the first wave of us here.
100k is the threshold for the second round of invitations.
mxcoryThey must be into round 4, I have never been a mod.
It’s either/or. I’ve never been one, but since I had over 200k Karma I was in round 1.
I have 40k karma on an 12 year old account and was invited. Obviously not buying that sit tho
There are a couple other factors. Were you a mod? Did you ever participate in one of reddit’s community programs like the Helper Program or Mod Council?
The 3 criteria are MVP status, which is based on participation in certain programs, Karma, or Mod Actions.
Just chiming in, 34k karma (only 4 post karma) and haven’t posted for 9 months. Never a mod. I also got the IPO offer. Think I was gifted gold one time.
Same. 13 year account with 42,000 karma. Have not been on since the API change. Never a mod, never part of anything special, just a regular user in every way.
ah i thought it was based on activity (though Reddit wrongly likes to correlate the two)
People should express interest, and go through whatever steps just short of actually buying
DarkenI got one too, and I don’t use reddit
I guess their top 35k users are basically all users remaining + inactive + deleted accounts
I got the email, also… And like you, I’ve not used reddit since the api BS. I’ve not logged in, commented or anything since just before sync stopped working.
Did you post a lot? Do you have email notifications turned on?
My old account has… a lot (six digits worth), of comment karma. But I think I posted a grand total of three times in the last ten years or so. I also have notifications turned off. So, no IPO notification for me.
SSTFI too got an email and haven’t posted at all since the API change.
If I really was in the top 35k before that, then at least I know quitting Reddit made some kind of dent in their content.
