If your post would end up like that in a day, please just refrain from posting it, in any community, or use a throwaway. It is very destructive, especially since all and every comment also becomes unreachable with it.

Sincerely,
With all due respect,
Your Lemmy neighbor

I’m fed up with this shit, and I know it well that it’s not just me.

Do not bomb your communities, please.

I promise, I’ll end up setting up a public instance that does not obey any deletions because of these madlads. Seriously, where is pushshift for lemmy?

      as others have said, generally a privacy issue type deal. Sometimes regarding data being collected then sold.

      I don’t agree with the mentality tbh, if you were concerned about that just don’t post. Nothing is stopping the data collectors from collecting it anyway(I’m sure they already have their own instance set to auto sub and ignore deletion requests), the only people who are effected by it are the users who wanted to see the post, and the people who put effort into responding.

      I think it’s trying to minimize their digital footprint/reduce the amount of LLMs that will ingest their post.

        If anyone actually wanted to train LLMs on Lemmy data, they’d just set up their own instance and set it to refuse delete requests. Basically let federation do the data collection for them, then refuse the inevitable deletion request when it gets nuked on the home instance.
