Just delete your account, that way everything they send you is known garbage.

Not OP but I am still waiting for my data request from a few weeks ago!

I actually never did that, I just used one of those plugins to purge my content. I probably should have, but also every time I have done that for other social media, I never went back to look at it anyway.

I finally got mine the other day, so at least it’s real and you should get it eventually too

I don’t see an email. Did you forget to post it?

I can see it on kbin.social but not on lemmy. I’ll post it here:

It happened to me last year or something. Reset your password and it’ll be fine. It was probably leaked.

Or do the smart thing and stay here instead. :)

As a general rule of precaution, don’t follow links in the email. Instead go to the website directly, maybe from a private or incognito instance, and reset it directly. If the email is valid, you’re doing the same thing and if it wasn’t you aren’t drawing attention to anyone else.

Maybe data leak somewhere?

I have a few accounts that know my email and I didn’t get such a message.
