Deleting or overwriting the title and content on ml seems to propagate sometimes, but not always.

Don’t hit, I really like the idea of the Fediverse and Lemmy in particular–I guess I already sort of knew that things worked this way, but, well, I’d be lying if I didn’t say this spooked me a bit.

EDIT: I’m usually pretty good about not rageposting or whatever, so there’s not a whole lot of stuff I want to expunge from the record, but there are some tech support type questions that I’ve asked in the past that now seem to me unbelievably and embarrassingly dumb that I’m not sure I want to have out there!

EDIT EDIT: I’d also be lying if I didn’t say my eyes were wandering a bit towards raddle.me at this point…

EDIT EDIT EDIT: (sorry, feeling kinda punchy over here after too much early-morning ☕️) This reminds me of something from back in the pre-Snowden days, when everything was still mostly htttp and while websurfing I had Wireshark open and saw “http://www.nytimes.com/lifestyle/how-to-get-the-most-enjoyment-from-watching-clown-porn.html” flashing past.

Seriously tho, this is back when I, along with just about everyone else I knew, would say things like “well, yeah, you know, Google, Facebook, the internet, etc., everything’s out there in the open, but what can you do?” And then there’s the feeling you get when you actually see identifiable stuff like this going out across the wires and you’re like “…oh…” 🙁

Not unlike the time when my boss asked me if I liked to listen to Rush:

Me: I haven’t really listened to that much of their stuff, although I really like Power Windows.

My boss: No, I meant Rush Limbaugh.

Me: …oh… 🙁

    Easy! Just don’t log in! It’s all public, so you don’t need an account for anything. The loss of up/down voting is offset by the number of comments that will not later be used by the FBI to convict you of thoughtcrime.

      Well, the reason I got an in the first place, when I saw US News & Politics. I knew, if I had an account, I could block that. If I log out… I don’t want to go back to unfiltered. Imagine all the US that would rule my feed…
