When sites no longer allow you to speak out against political figures, companies, or conflicts then its time to leave. They are no longer moderating a subreddit. They are moderation information as a whole. They get to pick n choose what you're allowed to rally around and rally against. Sites like lemmy are the next step to a free and fair internet.
Corporate has stolen our internet and our money. Its time to take it back. Federated and open source is the way we do it. Dont let the money tell us what we are allowed to talk about.
I deleted my account. I can't be on this "thing", knowing how it operates. Have fun with my content, I don't care anymore.
Delete your content when you leave
I don't care. That API shit happened, because spez is a dick. But Mangione's case uncovered a much deeper problem. I left in a rush yes, but maybe I will find a comment, that I made. I'm a nostalgic fuck, but that feels good you know?
You can request removal, though it's probably all been scraped by 60 companies so it'll always be somewhere.
