Update:
#Purism has decided not to honor my request to be removed from their #purismforums and be provided my data, stating:
We will not delete the anonymized accounts or posts
To #purismforum users, I do not consent to any of what has happened, and I recommend abandoning that site.
To users who stay there, never link to my projects or my socials and never mention me, my socials, or my projects ever again.
For those wondering:
I find myself in this situation because transphobic posts harassing me were allowed to remain on that site while Purism moderators removed, hid, or censored some of my responses. My posts were calm, civil, and respectful, while many of the posts directed at me were none of those things. Purism’s moderators decided that it is acceptable for users to repeatedly post transphobic insults directed at a trans user, while it is strictly unacceptable for any user to say the word “fuck” in any context, including in a hidden thread that exists for discussions centered around the “politics” of pronouns.
Goodbye and good riddance

thank you for the advice, but they won’t even allow me to delete the content myself. they are stubbornly claiming ownership of my words.
