Deleted my 10+ year old reddit account years ago, along with all other social shit. Fun to see everyone else finally catching up :) (kbin.social)

Stop giving VC backed companies free data. Please, I beg you all. I know this is preaching to the choir but I just wish more people gave a shit.

It’s bad enough that these companies pay other shitty companies for data dumps on you, but handing it over in absolute dump truck loads yourself for free is stupid.

It’ll never change. Those same shitty companies will just scrape these new communities in due time. I don’t have a point I guess, the world is fucked and the cycle will continue. May as well fight the good fight though.

Yeah well... That's only if they had followed GDPR

@Celivalg yeah heard about that. I’ve worked in tech long enough to know nothing is ever actually deleted, and that GDPR compliance is half-assed at best. If they undelete comments, well, at least my commentary provided no benefit to society, given that I was in my twenties at the time lol
