I think that this is the best take on this topic

They are like kids

Why?

But that is a double-edged sword. What if, for example, mastodon.social doesn’t defederate with Meta, but you defederate mastodon.social? Now you’ve just cut yourself off from a huge portion of the fediverse. Admins should defederate from Meta if their community wants to do that, but defederating from other instances that didn’t do that is going a bit too far, in my opinion.

It is, but it’s not likely as lots of them are in it only for the money.

Are other single board computers like OragnePI or Libre Computer any better?

just send an email to reddit and use chatgpt to write a request for you. mention your account username / email and request deletion of personal data + posts (account in general) from reddit / twitter as perrmited under gdpr.

Same here, I am all in with fediverse. I will soon delete both my reddit and twitter profiles, I hope that more people will follow soon. ps: make sure to send a GDPR claim to both so that they purge all of your contributions to the site ( reddit posts/ comments ect… ), this is the only way that they will be able to see how badly they are running these services.

I think if you just let people delete their data whenever and clearly state how that data is used/ stored everything will be fine.
