This does nothing the data is record kept and mass deleting/shredding your comments is already deductible and there have already been cases where shredded comments have been reversed after people have deleted their account.

The Reddit space is just a bunch of pictures of people's home Labs it's not really a self-hosted community at all.
It's not interesting to explore and read like this one is.
It's suffered from a common phenomena of any community that grows in popularity where it caters to the lowest common denominator and loses its niche.
Samesies.....
It's very difficult though, sourcing material is difficult enough, archiving and making it actually useful and valuable even moreso. It takes a lot of intelligent processing.
LLMs can reduce that effort a lot, on the searching side, but that's very expensive either in hardware or in API costs. And either way, would likely involve the efforts of a team to achieve.
Because advertising is what wins?
There's no such thing as bad publicity anymore. If you can gain a lot of publicity with well-timed and poignant collages and snippets that target audience on say tic Tok. That's an extremely powerful tool.
Currently things like this take not insignificant time and effort. Reducing the time of production is valuable.
How, exactly?
They should sure, who's coughing up the tens of millions of dollars that might cost?
If they don't have the resources to do it, they can't.
Distributed filesystems that self hosters can support may be the future for resilient data, but we're not really there yet in a scalable way.
I'm pretty sure that they do but this is a problem of and resources, which they are strapped for
Yep and the slow gutting of the education system isn't making it any better.
You have an entire generation coming of voting age who are rabid Trump supporters. They don't care about policies or democracy or public institutions. They don't care about healthcare, social securities, or the stability of the economy.
They don't care about any of the things that have been built up through generations. They lack critical thinking ability.
The recipe works. If you make dumb kids they will vote for dumb people. It works so well that part of the future plan for a trump presidency is to get rid of the department of education. Solidifying the Republican party indefinitely.
Without critical thinking and with mass media it's so easy to say every problem that people deal with is because the "other side" made it so. Even if the other side has been doing everything possible to achieve the opposite.
Google should be subject to antitrust legislation regardless.
Their position as a monopoly is what enables this.
This is more of a symptom the cause is the monopolization of the internet largely by Google
The grand majority of Mozilla's spending is for engineers.
They use chromium.
Firefox does not.
The grand majority of software engineering effort goes into the browser development that they never have to work on for the most part.
For a second I thought this was Reddit with all the armchairing. Holy crap
