Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I don't know if this is because I live in the EU., but I did check that none of my services were linked

Uh, you sure you want to post your email

It is probably in dozens of data breaches, so why not

Posting ur email address probably wasnt a smart move. Not only have you doxxed yourself, but you can't delete things off lemmy :/

You can overwrite things, though I'm not sure how soon or well that federates

Any action does not have to be honoured by any one instance. For all we know there could be an instance just archiving everything without complying with edits/deletion requests. One of the flaws of the fediverse.

Well that's just the same as internet in general. I'm talking about it being publicly visible.

There are almost certainly several such instances, gobbling up content and feeding it to LLM training, ignoring all deletes.

Huh, I don't have that section in my account. Normally every EU legislation trickles down to the UK, but not here, clearly. Plus I asked it a question the other week and it scanned my installed apps to tell me I didn't have X installed but could get it from the Play Store
