      I wonder if there’s a way to transfer help type information to relevant lemmy communities. Something that the search engines can pick up to direct more people towards lemmy.

      Don’t nuke your account. Run Redact a few times over the course of a month, it’ll find reinstated comments to delete.

      Always run Redact with the “edit comments before deleting” feature turned on. Deletions can be undone, edits seem to be safe.

        Agree 100%

        well put.

        But I still advocate that one nuke it at the end of the redact process

      I heard they’ve been just restoring comments… or reverting them if you use something like shreddit.

        No, nobody owes you anything. Start putting info into documentation and issue trackers and leave social media to be the brain rotting dopamine treadmill it became. If you need technical information, go into the official forum, discord (ew) or IRC channel of the project and ask the people actually using and developing the tech there.

          oh fuck off. it is a forum. forums and bbs have been used for niche communities for info documentation since the 90’

          if you want to play it like that irc channels are even more ephemeral and discord is shit.
