I deleted them at about the same time, both on different instances. One is empty, from perspective of my new instance, but the other one shows all the posts. What am I supposed to do?

Unfortunately, once you share something online it’s moved beyond anyone’s control. Even if the platform respects your wishes and does everything right, there’s always 3rd party web crawlers, data harvesters, archival services, etc. They are always around, busily vacuuming up everything they can on the web. Few if any shared posts or comments will ever be truly deleted. Storage of text is cheap, and a lot of entities love hoarding data.
So, try to only post stuff you wouldn’t mind your parents, coworkers, friends, etc. knowing about. Corporations and governments are moving more and more towards 100% surveillance and away from privacy and anonymity. It’s a giant problem, and I hate it. But the only element of this you can control is your own behavior.
I’m currently visiting my home town, which is very christian and conservative and while that brings its own annoyances, I’m currently sitting in a coffee shop that plays only christian music....
Depends on what it is for me. I strongly dislike praise team / evangelical pop-rock Christian stuff. But I miss some of the older more traditional and liturgical music. Some of it is quite beautiful. Bach, etc.
Thanks. Not a fan of guilt by association of this type. The idea of FUD has been around for decades. It’s not inherently crypto or inherently anything. It’s just a useful acronym for a tactic some people use.
I am not a cybersecurity expert. And these are good questions. The problem is certainly not unique to Lemmy.
However, my (limited) understanding of it the opposing opinion is. 1. This is bad for privacy (marketers and other bad actors use these to track down your IP and other metadata) and 2. It should have been thought of before now and already had some protections put into place.
Thank you, this is exactly the kind of info I was looking for. I figured someone was on top of this and the reddit dipstick was just being overly dramatic as usual.
Fidelity has cut their valuation of Reddit (not related to the API issue). The IPO is probably not going to go nearly as well as they'd hope. The market is still wary of social media investmenting.
I deleted my accounts on other instances. One of them indeed is seen as empty (so fine by me), but the other one still has all my posts on from the perspective of my new instance.

Listening to worship music...gets a reaction out of me

A little more on the Google DRM (adguard.com)
The Spy Pixel problem
Unsurprisingly, some folks on raddle and reddit seem to have a big problem with lemmy. A lot of it is pure FUD....
Reddit on the verge of eliminating third-party apps (libreddit.nl)
