Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Same. Overwrote my comments and deleted my account on principle.
Actually surprising I don't miss that 12yo account or any of my old communities at all.
I didnt go full scortched earth. There were a bunch of plugins around the time cropping up that would do that. Also reports that they would revert bulk deletions, I just walked away and have never logged in since.
Yeah, from a backend perspective it seems like it would be incredibly easy to detect and roll that back, and as far as I know their TOS would allow them to do it (GDPR notwithstanding)--but I don't know that for sure, maybe I'm just being cynical.
Actually, I looked up my old account and I guess I didn't delete it, but all my comments are syntactically correct nonsense, so that's cool.
And the mass edited comments have definitely not been rolled back. Maybe they have a "clean" version somewhere that they can sell to slop shops, but at least the reddit frontend experience is a little bit worse thanks to my edits. 😌
