Hi all!
So, with the whole lemm.ee saga, I would like to be able to delete my whole comment history. I know they should get deleted from lemm.ee the moment I delete my account, but I think these don’t get federated, and all the comments I made back in the day under this account will remain forever in the federated instances. Moreover, once the account is deleted there won’t be a way to remove them. So I wanted to try and delete them first. Is this possible, is there a tool that could do this for me like the old reddit nuking tool?
If Barbra Streisand cannot delete her name from her house on the Internet, you cannot delete your comments. The Internet only forgets when you don’t want it to. If you want it to forget, it never will.
Posting a comment on the Internet is something that can never be undone. Once it’s out there, it’s out there forever. You can try and delete it, and you might make some progress, you might even be successful, but there are no guarantees, and the more you want it to be deleted the less likely you’ll be able to pull it off.
In a practical sense, just use to built-in features to delete your account and posts. It’s not perfect or guaranteed, but it’s the best you’re going to get.
