      Oh no, through this article I found out about Bandcamp’s enshittification. I like that Website to obtain music…

        OK I read the bandcamp thing and… It’s not enshittification at all. Can we stop applying the term to every online service that kinda gets slightly worse for some reason or another?

        Just in case:

        Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification

        None of those things happened with Bandcamp

          When I migrated to Lemmy, I left my Reddit account intact - just stopped using it. It included lots of tutorials, guides for things like buying a PlayStation Vita OLED panel, recorded Reddit Talks from the subreddits I moderated, the only source for certain bug fixes, and so on.

          When Reddit started pretending this data belongs to them, and selling it to AI models, I replaced everything with gibberish and removed the comments. They restored a few, specially when they showed up on Google, so then I replaced them again, deleted everything, and deleted the account.

            I had to redelete some of my comments 3 4 times before they went away for good. I should probably check again in case they came back.

            Edit: Yep, a dozen old posts and comments are back again.

                Brazil did that. We have a new set of laws called LGPD that allows users to revoke the consent whenever they want - all data ever collected or provided to a service must be deleted. Not turned anonymous, not shared with Facebook, not “under the ToS it’s ours” - deleted.
