Delete your social media already
- sova 5y agohacker news is not social and not media? :)
- pixl97 5y agoIs text media in the sense of multi media?
- sova 5y agosmoke signals are also media (as in mediums)
- mahathu 5y agoMoving the goalposts - it's social in the sense that you're interacting with other people, and media, but not social media as the focus is on the content and not on the people who post it
- bmitc 5y agoHacker News doesn't even allow you to delete your account.
- alliao 5y agoor edit/delete comments, ah the permanence of it all is strangely... terrifying?
- Sebb767 5y agoIt does allow account and comment deletion, just not on a self-service basis. You can always ask dang if you need something gone, but HN tries to avoid the comment rot that for example Reddit has (where there are massive threads of [deleted] or "erased by GreaseMonkey", usually wiping out context or, worse, actual solutions).
- dylan604 5y agoHow is that allowed under GDPR?
- annadane 5y agoYes, you're very clever by being the 900th person to be "witty" like this. You know what they meant.
- sova 5y agoand what did they mean? delete your facebook and instagram? I guess the focus is on the "content" and not the "people" but I didn't really know they were distinct categories until now
