A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics.
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 !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
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 info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Why? Unless you’re in a few location in the world, they won’t actually delete your valuable data.
Deleting your account only deletes your username from posts and comments. Why leave behind useful content?
Fuck Reddit!
But they would keep that information behind the scenes and only display [deleted] or whatever it said.
You're missing the point.
No you’re missing the point, unless you live in a location that has laws to force companies to actually delete your data, they won’t actually delete it and thus deleting your account will achieve nothing.
No one gives a shit if Reddit stores your posts in the background, hidden from the front-end, it's about removing useful content from the public.
Thus... Deleting all your posts and comments before deleting your account.
No, it's about removing content from being sold to AI or other companies.
No one gives a shit about the front-end.
I'd recommend filtering by all instances (servers) and see which ones show up, which is kind of like r/all. Just a word of warning that everyone and their dog seems to have a NSFW community with three niche images that make you wonder how that's even a thing.
I use lemmy like twitter, like reddit 15 years ago : I view everything, then block communities I’m not interested in.
Lemmy is still small enough to that without too much garbage- especially if you like a broad range of content,
The only chore was blocking tons of anime
