Are there any good Lemmy tools to easily but properly nuke your history yet? Like PowerDeleteSuite works for Reddit? (lemmy.ml)

It just feels kind of gross having parts of me hanging out on the internet for too long. Like I haven't been able to wash my hands/face for a while. I do it manually occasionally, but I have to block off a morning or evening for it now when I used to be able to do it with a couple mouse clicks then go off to take a shit or w/e.

Yeah... the concept of "deleted" was never really a thing on the internet and I don't think it is still. If you don't want it to be on the internet forever... don't post it. Lemmy is pseudoanonymous, just choose a different username and 99% likely no one will ever know it's you.

I don't wash my hands at work to be sterile (most of the time). "Sterile" is different from "clean" in the terms I'm formally educated in. To follow that analogy I just want my info to be "clean." I want to remove most of the stuff from immediate public access periodically. I utilize other stuff too like periodically changing usernames and whatnot, same as I change an isolation gown or strip and wash my clothes as soon as I get home. None of that guarantees perfect removal of 100% of microbes, and this won't prevent all people ever from accessing my info. But that's no reason to never even rinse my digital ass. I just want a digital-ass bidet, not a digital autoclave.

I want a real ass autoclave.

I hear the instantpot was actually a common solution for remote medical facilities before they went under. Any pressure cooker would do though, as I understand it.

How do I get my ass in a pressure cooker?
