I’m doing a full history delete using my data request as a reference to all my comments. 17761 comments. Many stupid crap, but also many helpful tech related stuff that will no longer drive traffic to Reddit.

That’s just so sad to me. Is there any place we could tell people to store or upload these things? I hate that we’re losing so much because of one company’s hubris.

Honestly even an instance that’s just “deletedposts.lemmy” or something like that, to save posts that were useful.

Agree that it’s sad, and I’ve got the export of my posts if that ends up being useful… but idk what to do with it rn
