I wasn't awake enough to appreciate the sarcasm in this comment when I initially read it. Nice one.

The amount of typos lately is depressing.

GDPR is a EU law, this is a UK website.

Lemmy allows it on a user level, since version 0.19

But since I see you're on mbin, that don't do you much good, I'm afraid.

I see.

As the other commenter also said: can't you just block the LW instance on your account?

What's the usecase for cloudflare filtering / blocking LW?

I'm aware that the latter is a huge risk in what is supposed to be a decentralised solution, but I'm not sure why you'd need to filter hundreds of communities for that (rather than defed 1 server).

Also, its not clear reddit is able to retain deleted posts. They have a vast live site to maintain - why would they ever have been focused on having an immutable back up of all deleted posts?

They do, though. Last year when there was a small exodus to Lemmy, lots of people deleted their history. Which reddit then recovered.

The truth is, marking a comment or post as deleted, literally only takes one bit to store. deleted=1 or 0. However, if you go back and overwrite all your comments (not with an identical message, because that is easy to detect) - that would take more effort to recover.

Honestly, between these obsession posts and all the other non-tech news that gets posted here, I just unsubscribed this morning. The signal to noise ratio in this community is just not worth it to me.

I prefer the latter, because it's so much easier to filter out posts about Elon than it is to filter out posts about X (without creating a ton of false positives).

I might have been a teensie bit sarcastic when I wrote that ;)

The sad state of political campaigning in 2024.
