People are beginning to realise that any comms in public (even on this hallowed forum) will be used against you if not now but in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 years time, and likely has already been used to train an LLM. Even Twitter actually deletes all your tweets when your account deletion is actioned, Reddit just replaces your name with [user deleted], hence the need for tools like this.

Discord is on the rise with Gen Z as a result. As long as they don't blow it with whatever pivot they are trying to accomplish with the username changes, semi private walled gardens will be the future of the internet.

Ever platform should be providing a way to delete everything you've done by now. Right to be forgotten is already the law for anyone that's an EU resident and the rest of the world is headed there too.
