Ah, gotcha -- I'd read your initial post as being about the data being scraped/sold, not deleted/taken out of someone's control.
But even there, unless you only stick to nostr or a few similar tools, there's loss potential everywhere -- I may have some of my SN posts saved, since I often compose them offline, but not all of them. And probably none of my comments. Ditto for a bunch of other sites from Livejournal to Reddit. Most are probably ones I'll never need or want to revisit, but there are probably some exceptions I'll lose at some point.
That's just the nature of hosted services and the web and the only way to amend that is to actually have control over your data.
It could be through self-hosting or at the very least archiving your online data.
