I have just realised that alien.top seems to be mirroring reddit accounts, posts and comments, without labelling them as such. What is the point of this one way mirroring? As soon as users realise, they are going to just leave. There is no point having a discussion with a bot that cannot respond.

    I think that right to be forgotten is untenable in anything you publicly put into the internet. I know a bit off topic…

    Once someone has open access to it (like reddit/lemmy). You are implicitly implying that you want anonymous access of that information to the wider world.

    Do you think it is even possible? (BTW, im not being a dick, just interested)

      Yeah, it realistically isnt feasable to actually be forgotten. But that doesnt mean we should deliberately make it harder either.

      Ultimately, its not my problem, its not my account being mirrored, but if one of the users does find out that its happening, and they dont like it, the owner of alien.top would potentially have a legal battle on their hands. As long as they are comfortable with that risk, im not gonna stop them.
