Reddit breaks the law to quell protests - spez has gone too far

Reply in thread

Were people under the impression that deleted comments are actually deleted? The second you post a comment, it's immediately archived indefinitely by Reddit and third party websites. Reddit does not have an option to actually delete stuff, and this is an example that the delete button doesn't actually delete. There's also no way to mass delete your comments when you want to delete your account. In fact it's permabannable for whatever reason. Yes this is a violation of the law and they should absolutely be sued into oblivion for intentionally and actively breaking GDPR, and just being incredibly privacy invasive in general. Not like privacy exists on Reddit though, that's why profiles are public without any option to hide them.

Fuck Reddit. I hope the company goes out of business.

Infinity for Reddit's latest update...

You should never pay for for-profit social media, it's fundamentally backwards. Their service is not the product, your contributions and presence are. They are nothing without you, and require you.

The exception is things like instances on the Fedi where it's not for profit and you're putting up a server to include yourself.

Good VPS providers providing anonymity

They are called bulletproof hosting and are illegal. They get shut down pretty quick for obvious reasons. You won't find any reputable ones for a reason, because they don't want to be hosting illegal content like CP. They also get their IPs blacklisted and automatically marked as spam/suspicious/phishing. It's just a bad idea. You can have private hosting and not anonymous hosting, they are not the same.
