Often you don't know a crime has been committed at the time, which is why businesses are expected to have data retention periods for legal reasons.
But everyone keeps pointing to any data retention as some sort of big brother boogeyman.

Looks good so far, thanks!
Haha yep, you read my mind.
Did you not watch Jurassic Park??
The nice thing about this right now is that you don't need to feel witty or creative to post stuff as long as it fits the community you're in. There aren't enough people to compete with for posts to get attention, that's the main attraction to smaller social media environments: you feel like you matter more.
I'm still getting a feel for how all of this works together, so I haven't bothered blocking any communities yet. Were you just seeing those while browsing Local/All? I tend to stick to Subscribed unless I'm going adventuring for new stuff.
I'm looking for Reddit alternatives and so far Lemmy does a fairly decent job.
I'm hoping to recapture the old Reddit feel where there was enough content but not so many users where everything just turned into drama or a flame war in the comment section. So far Lemmy seems fairly slow with content but that's probably a good thing for me, I shouldn't be using this stuff to fill my time as much.
Same, my job is like 80% SQL, so it'd be cool to see what is used in the background and maybe help improve things.
From what I've seen so far, it's just a broad rule they can point to if they want to remove certain content.
Essentially it's their house and we're just renting a room.
