If you don't want something preserved, don't post it on the clearnet. You can not expect everyone to bow down to your demands of forgetting your past.

In future, post your stuff behind a loginwall. Post it on Discord.

The thing is, the wayback machine can still remove stuff per request sometimes, and not many people are savvy enough to understand how the internet works and how their information can be randomly archived. hell. someone for some reason archived my old 2015 youtube channel that had no content on it at all.

It's not only about the Wayback Machine. Anyone who posts something online has to expect that someone else could manually download it.

How is a login wall supposed to help? Discord still lets you save attachments

Likewise, someone could mirror pictures from to Discord to Imgur. You can't prevent someone who sees it from mirroring it.

However, if you post it to Discord, it can not be discovered by automated search engines or web crawlers. But it doesn't prevent other people from manually publishing it.
