I enjoy deleting my old posts and comments, but it’s lot of work doing it individually, especially with comments. For other platforms there are apps you can login with, then delete old or all content, but I can’t find one for Lemmy. Does such a thing even exist?
Btw, it’s super annoying if I bookmark something, or remember something, check out the old post and the author deleted it. Happend more than once to me already. I mean it’s your content and your choice. Just wanted to say it’s annoying to me.

You do you I guess
This might be tricky, given that Lemmy is federated [1]; there’s no guarantee that deletions will be federated to all instances — eg an instance could defederate from the rest of the network after your content’s been pushed to it.

Even if the deletion request is federated - what stops me from using a modified server that ignores them and stores them anyways?
