Thanks for all the great memories and moments RIF. We will miss you!

Perils of living in Massachusetts. I hope similar laws pass federally in the United States.

That being said, I've been on the other side of GDPR. Getting ready for GDPR around 2017 was so much work. We initially had a lengthy confluence runbook with all the places data had to be deleted from. It took a while to automate. Painful, but it's the right thing to do.

RE: OP

I'm pretty sure this is in violation of both GDPR/CCPA

IANAL, but I agree. In my past companies, when a GDPR deletion request comes, we follow through and delete the data. We might ask users to verify their identity but that's about it. It should be 2-3 emails back and forth.

I'm in the same boat. Having a small instance for me and my friends might create an echo chamber, at least initially. My current strategy is to browse all on kbin and sdf's Lemmy and find interesting communities to subscribe to.

This does cause an issue of duplicate communities though -- pawb.social has tech but so do other Lemmy instances. I have not found a good way to group them and de-dup them yet.

Every year I think that the shenanigans R's pull will make them suffer in the next election. Still, with gerrymandering, voter suppression, and the "if they go low, we stay high" attitude we have, the election ends up becoming a coin toss.
