What do you want to be: a Whatsapp, a Reddit, a Stack Overflow or a Wikipedia?

... you don't get it.

If you made a post, on lemmy, and then deleted it?

... you didn't actually delete it.

Somebody already archived it. Some three letter organization, probably many of them, and they often talk to each other.

An undelete instance would just make that more obvious to more people.

If you're worried about persecution due to being a minority or supporting them... you need to actually learn how to secure your online communications, you need to figure out how to effectively seperate your real identity from your online one.

Lemmy is public.

Anyone can archive the entire thing, at any time. If you are worried about the fascists, as you should be, you need to learn actual security and privacy practices.

... the internet is forever.

The doorkickers aren't going to care that you 'deleted' your post after they already made a copy of it.

Judging from the current vote counts on my comment, I'm apparently doing that right now, lol

I guess being accountable for the things you say, and being aware that govts and megacorps archive everything already... these are apparently significantly unpopular ideas.

Someone elses idiocy can be your guide to wisdom.

Seems like good practice. I just recently learned that your up/downvotes are also visible for everyone, which seems odd and sketchy privacy wise. Which result in way less voting by me.

What do you mean you don't?

What of someone posts empty comments as an answer to a hot thread, then deletes it, to make people think the person knew the answer?

I know what I'm doing today!

I just gave up on that, decided to thwirl my moustache.

If someone interprets my comment wrong, I will just play up the role of a really fucking evil guy.

Life is easier when you don't care.

All that matters is getting X goods to Y people.

Everything else is cheap.

Good thing I actively declare that I'm going to [fucking dumb rules, nwm for now]

Modlog exists

No troll unturned.

I'm a slut for democracy, how would I self medicate without them? /hj

It might be easier, but its also lonlier, and more hostile.

And, some things... some valuable things cannot be bought nor sold.

... No, I haven't.

i've described reality as it is.

I've also said that in general, people should be allowed to publically make mistakes and publically learn and grow from them.

If you want lemmy to ... actually support truly deletable posts and comments? And also be public facing?

Go redesign it then.

You are ignorant of how the actual mechanisms at play here work, and you've decided that me describing them to you is somehow a moral defense of surveillance capitalism.

You can't have something that is totally public yet is also truly totally redactable at the same time.

You're just mad that you don't understand how software works, and lashing out wildly.

I don't do it because I wish to take part in the construction of an online archive of everything that anyone has ever said that can be easily scanned to profile people, harass them, and for other such fun anti-social uses of technology.

Then stop communicating on any public facing communications platform.

What you said there applies to all of them.

I thought of deleting a comment here for the pun's sake, but someone did it already.

"decombobulated" is the type of word you'd see Edd (from Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy) say.

Edd had a way of spifflicating words in a toploftical fashion

Here's hoping the other wolf doesn't win 🤘🏼

You're doomed to circle the drain until you find yourself back in the Cesspit of Redderp, trying to keep yourself whole until you can escape again —hopefully, untainted by the no-effort nazis, pedo-fans, cumboxes, etc. that churn in that "fun-sized" alphashit soup.

deleted by you

Deleted by Tyler, the Creator

I get it.

Being roasted isn't the end of the world. You will emerge cooked but flavorful.

Seriously though just remember we are all just bots anyway /s

It's a 50/50 whether it lets me view it or not

That's all I got then, lol. Maybe some posts get like hard deleted in addition to just being removed?

Wait, yall arent dogs as well?

I made a post about that and was told its a quirk in the "remove comment and block user" mod action.

You could always block the people making these posts instead of ineffectively complaining.

I just had a bad connection and my comment was posted twice. :-/

As an Australian, with 8-10 shots of alcohol in my system I seem to get the same response I got on Reddit.

I'm just talking shit and people are getting offended.
At least here I wake up with 1-2 replies telling me how wrong and foolish I am instead of Reddit where I woke up with multiple replies and downvotes because everyone is so self-righteous.

It's why 4Chan was good.. "WAS" good
I could get tipsy, Talk a bunch of shit, call the French, Italians, Greek and Turks a bunch of arse holes.
1 or 2 of them would call me the N word or call me a cunt and tell me to kill myself and I could just laugh and move on.

Reddit you say "Lol I don't like Nazis* or "Israel is a terrorist state" and you get banned..

Here I can fairly call Israel a terrorist state but people still get offended if I call France, Italy or Greece useless.

Don't get offended.. I'm a drunk Australian arsehole..
Insult me back!

I mean yeah, but you can easily tell those cases because such deleted comments have very few votes.

A deleted comment with a bunch of votes is a cowardly retreat from being some kind of embarassing or stupid.

I delete comments if I see that somebody else already said the same thing or if I realize I was misinformed when I made the comment. Neither case adds anything useful.

Yes. We're all judging you.

What this guy said.

I can, however, make it slightly harder to do

I may be missing the “it”, but what are you referring to and how?

I see what you did there. Take my upvote!

I think I had a reddit account for like 2 weeks. I actually kind of like Lemmy and Piefed outside of just search results.

Some weird part of me wants to be an alien dog from 7 11 Taiwan

Does that count? Picture included
