A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

And that's why I deleted all my posts and comments before deleting my account. Sure, they could probably go back and restore it if they wanted but, so far, they haven't.
Glad I landed here on Lemmy.
Yep used 'power delete suite' to delete everything before I left.
Well, I just discovered a bunch of my stuff had been restored. Says deleted account, but it's there.
Deleting your account doesnt delete your content AFAIK.
I was saying elsewhere I deleted all my content before deleting my account, but now some of my content is back.
I don't think I ever actually bothered deleting my content because I suspected that they would just do something like that anyway.
I suspect Reddit holds a perfect copy of every edit, including the first, you’ve ever done. For legal reasons if nothing else. Now also to prevent against perfectly good AI training content to be deleted.
