Wow thank you for reminding me this site exists!

dhmy has been around for quite some time. Probably been around longer than a good chunk of the folks here even. I have some stuff downloaded from them dating back to like 2003, albeit dmhy.net at the time.

While I cannot vouch for the validity of the contents hosted there now since I haven’t been to the site for over a decade, if I have to look for something in this niche area I would definitely be willing to use the site. If anything I don’t think the domains have changed hands since.

If you nuke the entire thing, you can blame technical difficulties, dropping support for “legacy” products and whatnot.

Whereas if you only delete the offending content, it could mean:

1. You knew they existed;
2. You knew they were wrong;
3. You tried to clean it up/hide it.

When found out, it could be used against you for consciousness of guilt and trying to conceal it. Even if it doesn’t amount to charges it could be a bad look for the company down the road; whereas you could just tank the hit right now for being a heartless CEO and it only goes to the pile of things Reddit is doing for IPO.

But let’s say there’s no crazy conspiracy behind and they’re just trying to clean house. You can never be sure how wide spread it is, or if you can indeed remove everything. Most importantly, why would you even devote extra resources to finding and reviewing for something that adds little to no face value to the main product(s)? Might as well just nuke the whole thing and be done with.

You could get creative with a premium account “A” where you can designate another person/account “B”(can be free account) with emergency access after a waiting period.

When B requests access it’ll send an email where A can approve/deny access immediately; or if you’re completely locked out, B will be granted access after the waiting period that you can set passes.

B can either be another person you trust, or it could just be a written backup that can be locked somewhere safe but not accessed on a daily basis.

If you want, after designation you can cancel premium and the emergency access will still be active, you just cannot add/edit who has access.

Yes it is?

Don’t worry, old millennials like us are probably quite familiar with l33t speak

I’m no Lemmy scientist, but judging by how the post ended up at c/RedditMigration , I think we’re very much at the oops stage
