I don't know if keeping the usernames visible is a good or a bad thing at this point, but it kinda sucks for insecure people who don't wanna get roasted lol

I get it just fine.

I post on Lemmy because I wish to take a brief moment to communicate with other people about a specific subject. 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.

I know perfectly well I cannot prevent anyone from doing that. I can, however, make it slightly harder to do. And I choose to do so because I can.

What you have done is create a moral justification for surveillance capitalism. Zuckerberg would be so proud.

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

I regularly go out of my way to delete my comment history on Lemmy. It doesn't prevent a malicious actor from actively tracking and archiving all my activity throughout the Fediverse, but limits the visibility for someone who isn't willing to spend resources just for that purpose.
