You deleted your last post on a similar topic, which had some excellent discussion and comments, and now all of that good content for lemmy is gone.

Deleting posts is not great for the community.

As bad as reddit is, it does suck that a lot of people who left decided to wipe all their comments/posts too. Huge amount of useful data just gone.

Yes but millions were also providing that data for free until Reddit decided it was all theirs to control and monetize. Don't blame the users.

Saying it sucks = blaming the users? Okay.

Saying "it sucks that they decided" sounds like blaming these users.

The thing is, I didn't agree to sell my content for a 0% cut.

Reddit has always had ads. That's a stupid Argument.

Yes, when you publicly posted things online.

Disney murder case type of legal bullshit vibes here

Reddit is trying to sell that data. I would like to sabotage that. Also, some of my activity on Reddit especially early on was quite toxic so I’d rather it be lost anyway.

When somebody deletes a post it also goes away from the other instances where it federated? (I hope I'm clear loll.
