Is there a way to download a copy of all of one's posts on DU?

[snot]

Sorry if this is already answered somewhere and I missed it. Looking for a way to download a copy of my posts or data going back as far as possible, the way you can on most social media platforms.

(Note, I never used any "Journal"-type function here, in case that matters.)

Thanks for any advice!

1. There is not, I'm afraid

Unfortunately people’s expectations of what DU can and can’t do compared to other sites is perhaps a little too high. DU is not a modern social media platform, it’s an old-school discussion forum, running software which is currently almost 15 years old, which is itself based on software which is almost 25 years old. We’ve tried to keep up with the times as much as possible, but the bottom line is that the way the software is structured does not allow for easy searching, a complete archive of a user’s posts, or the ability to delete all of your posts in one go. Sorry about that.

2. ok, thanks for the answer!

(old school does have a few advantages, like way better emoticons)
