If you post to #StackExchange, you license that content to them under CC-BY-SA. You can't revoke that license, so you can't remove that content.
It shouldn't surprise you that they stop you from trying. Imagine a Wikipedia editor trying to remove their edits.
However, what it does give you is the right to host _all_ of SE elsewhere. To fork it, if SE violates its co…

| would like to bring the following pieces of history to the foreground. This is an excerpt of Joel Spolsky speaking on the Stack Overflow podcast #84 Oh, expropriation of community content that... We created Stack Overflow to be against it. If there's anything that's more in the DNA of Stack Overflow than that, | don't know what it is. That's one of our most core things.

I haven't used stackoverflow much, just had two answers I'd posted there. I deleted them both, and got the same email others have got.. Probably the most passive-aggressive email I've ever received.
By the way if you delete your account, they anonymise your posts. AFAICT, that's against the creative commons attribution share-alike license of the posts.

Apparently you can’t easily delete your content from Stack Overflow so I have put a GDPR deletion request in.

No more user-generated content, I think. Right? No more? POSSE all you can? Help others do the same?

Someone recently complained that #StackOverflow is “misusing” their answers for commercial purposes and now wishes to have all their content deleted under GDPR.
Here's the thing: Everything published there is #CreativeCommons-licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. If you don't li…

Some interesting (but flawed) UX-design on the Fediverse sharing opt-in modal on threads.net.
If your screen is tall and the modal content has no overflow, you can’t move on. Had to shrink the window and give it a scroll for the button to enable. 😅
