They have warned about this before, but it's still pretty wild to think they're now removing old DMs (and chats, but it's not like anyone used those).

Interestingly you can still see them if you take out your data via a request, so they got them in the database still.

adults in the 2000's: "just remember, anything you put online is gonna be there forever."

It's true, but it only applies to the stuff you don't want there anymore.

Stuff you're actively trying to preserve is made of glass and disappears if you don't look at it for more than a week.

Looking at you YouTube, deleting videos and removing any trace of them from my playlists. Sad that you got to download so much these days or it's just gone because a pixel or a single audio nanosecond will get it flagged and deleted.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
