well, it's kinda lost for humanity if it only gathers dust on your harddisk and isn't accessible for anyone...
Hence “hosted elsewhere”. Download and decentralize.
I should have specified delete everything from Reddit. Don’t let them profit off your posts. Do share your knowledge.
Then encourage people repost it somewhere else. And Facebook also started out as only a social media company but now is integrated into so many aspects of our lives and in some countries the default messaging service.
So depending on the view deleting content is also for humanity to try and avoid the emergence of another data mining mega corp.
