fizzym4dLove this video, Shred it! Yoooo
In all seriousness though I probably won't be deleting my stuff either. Less than a month ago someone replied to a message of mine that was years old and they said they found it when googling. I don't want to ruin someone's day when they try to find something to answer their questions.
Shred it
backup, re-post here.
I've seen a few people suggest this, but wouldn't it be pretty useless without the context of the rest of the original post?
Like I could back up all of my comments and repost them here, but no one will know what they were in reply to unless I also backup and import the rest of the thread.
(I'm not against that, but I also don't know if there'd be legal issues?)
you should check if the stuff you care about is on the webarchive, if its not see if you can get it there.
That's a good point. I guess a solution to my issue could be to post a dump of saved/exported comments/posts but also link to archive.org for them.
I've been using a self-hosted YacY instance lately too and have it set up to automatically index/cache rss feeds from my reddit upvotes/comments, so that kind of works too.
