A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]

How do I sell my reddit account to a trolling bot farm, so the history is used against reddit? (is there a more diplomatic way to do this?) (lemmy.ca)

Reddit has not respected my right to delete my account and my posts and my comments (it is a zombie account with my history and my edits to posts also have been rolled back). As such, how do I make it of no value to Reddit?

True. I am trying to think of a more diplomatic way to say "take my content off your hosting platform" that could be done at scale.

Also with the reduction in quality moderators, this may do more harm to the only commercial value the site has: "inertia" for zombie scrolling ad revenue. Still, I don't understand exactly what will happen and may not do it.

Disengaging seems like a good idea.

Under EU GDPR or California CCPA, you can demand a copy of all data that Reddit has about you, which includes your posts & comments.

However, there's nothing you can do to destroy Reddit's copy of that material that they can't just undo.
