A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I deleted my 10 year and 5 year old accounts. I didn't purge my posts and comments, as I doubt they're truly deleted from the database and I wanted to leave that content for people who aren't reddit. I've moved to the fediverse, andi think I'm here to stay.
I've heard editing comments is likely more effective, but it's hard to say. I'm guessing they take regular backups anyway, so maybe that's not really a thing anymore.
Regardless, I'm planning on replacing all of my comments with something like "screw you Reddit, use Lemmy instead" or something to that effect. I have a ton, so I'll need a script to do that, which will probably get blocked anyway.
