People are missing the point of this article a bit - It’s not just about Nintendo trying to remove forks/backups of yuzu/ryujinx. It’s that they are trying to subpoena Reddit as a corporation for user data. They want to pursue legal actions against anyone discussing Switch Piracy online. And then ask yourself - Do you trust Reddit as a corporation with your user data?
In addition to requesting records from Reddit, Nintendo’s filing also makes appeals for information from other companies, including domain registrars such as Namecheap and GoDaddy, along with firms such as Cloudflare, Github, Google, and Discord.
Reminder, that you do not own your social media accounts and that corporations might end up sharing whatever you post online with whomever. Privacy and anonymity are not guaranteed.
That’s why I’m very careful about not giving away any personal or demographic information and I delete my account every few months anyway. Makes it much more difficult to track back to me personally.
This account is overdue for purging. Im waiting for someone to reply to one of my old comments, then off with its head!

So, Lemmy is a better place?
Well… it’s all public anyway so no need to make a request. Just scrape it.

Is there an easy way to purge a Lemmy account or do you have to edit/ delete each comment and post first?
I’ve had issues with deleting posts previously and just resorted to editing them to be useless instead.
