    Lmao I was just reading a post on Reddit of people saying that Lemmy was bad regarding privacy because “comments aren’t actually deleted”.

    Oh boy, the society…

    There’s a comment pinned in the comments saying the content was being restored due to subreddits being changed from private to public. Still really shitty they don’t allow you to bulk delete though

      Still borderline illegal that they don’t allow you to delete comments from private subredits…

      You say that as if it makes it okay. By definition, it means those comments were not deleted in the first place. When I want my monetizable data deleted, I want it deleted. Not “hidden”. I’m a programmer. Changing a mode on a group does not have to “undelete” content. In fact, in any context involving business, explicit work to ensure the data is gone forever is often legally audited.

      If they won’t delete my data, and that ends up permitted, then I demand that any time my data is viewed or used, I expect compensation - just like musicians, writers, and media companies demand.

    For those manually deleting posts one by one, consider replacing your post with random copy and paste text from copyrighted banned books instead.

    Is read in one of these threads about reddit reporting deleted comments that if you white your comments and then delete it, they’ll restore the edited version when next they do that.

    A good edit would be:

    I’m leaving reddit for good, because of how the admins and owners are mistreating third party app developers, mods, and users. I’ve moved to the Fediverse, which is a much nicer place, made by users and for users. I advise any who read this to do the same.

    Here are a few links to get started:
