A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Personally use this tool on a daily basis. YMMV wrt the frontends provided, but I use it as my daily driver to help me evade Reddit, Twitter, and YouTube's tracking of everything I do.

Lemmy edits over your posts by default so that remote instances delete them too.

Also if you live in the EU and an instance is refusing to delete your personal information, you can probably report them to your data regulator. Could get them fined if they're in the EU, or the EU could order EU-based instances to defederate from them.
