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…
I think we should promote Odyssey instead of YouTube. YouTube can also fuck people over any time over like reddit and it is in a much better position to do so. So if a creator has an Odyssey channel as well, why not provide an Odyssey link instead?
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.
