How to even delete saidit account?!

submitted by SpaceStoner from (self.SaidIt)

we don't retain user data after the user deletes it, that's our site policy for people's protection.

deactivating your account will not delete the content of posts and comments you've made on saidit. to do so, please delete them individually.

-Saidit User Preferences

Where's the delete link?

There is no bulk delete, but there are many tools meant for reddit that will work here as well.

So it's not possible to delete the account along with user data as magnora claims?

They're talking about deactivation, which does not delete posts and comments. Full real deletion sounds like a good feature that we should add though.

so it's actually "you can't delete user data"?

yeah did it on reddit before, gotta copy and paste a code, it takes awhile if you have thousands of posts

The crux of the statement is we're not gonna make direct database edits if at all possible.

it says you need to delete each post individually. But I coulda sworn before one button let you delete all your posts, I did that before I thought.

Bro, you need to accept it. This, like all social media sites are CIA honey pots to collect info for nefarious control. There is no delete button. ever....

Truth.

Well, I am not sure about all sites being CIA...

But, the Internet doesn't forget. My first words put on it in 91 were easily found well into the 10's.

They are in some archive somewhere still.

Never put anything online that you cannot live with.

Too late! My internet comments shall haunt me for the rest of eternity.

Why did I ever even try?
