Hey - people are free to do what they want with their stuff. You're not entitled to people's comments!

  They are, but people acting selfishly as individuals is going to destroy a great common resource, and we will all be worse off for it. Truly a tragedy of the commons. "But I've been fishing this lake my whole life!" Yeah, you and everyone else buddy. Now there are no more fish in the lake. Would you burn the library of alexandria just because the ehyptian government started charging for access?

    Oh no - but I've deleted all my comments when I left reddit a few years back, just because I don't like having a papertrail of comments behind me, which I think is a fair use of this tool!

      What are you doing commenting on a reddit account traceable to other identities? That's like usernames 101 man.
      • dmbche 3y ago
        We're all young once! And I'm certain most users are traceable. Systematic flaw - guess it should be like 4chan. Edit: I'm also a little overly paranoid and assume that it's probably trivial to link anonimised usernamed comments to some individual, from times where comments are made and connections in subject and style of writing. I now assume all interactions that are not encrypted are public and not anonymised
