Feel like you have something to post, but it's not really relevant to any of the current communities, and you don't feel like it's worth making an entirely new community just to post it? This is the place for that.

Attached: 2 images 👿 PSA: #Reddit is restoring deleted and overwritten posts to save what they consider "their data". This is a new low and probably illegal at least in Europe. You can send a GDPR or CPRA request here: https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request These are screenshots of my profile on June 14th before and after overwriting and then deleting all my posts with Powerdelete. Today, June 16th all my posts have been restored by Reddit without my knowledge or consent. #redditblackout #redditmigration #kbin #lemmy

I once heard years ago that it saves data when you delete, but not when you edit. So the trick was editing all your posts empty, then deleting.

This was years ago, though.

“Their data” what a bunch of bullshit. This proves that they're getting hit by the people who actually left and the big subs that went dark. Hopefully people take this as a warning and stay off The Hard R.

It's not really surprising since lots of social media sites retain data. It's just "marked" as deleted. Pretty big dick move, though.
