Memes about the Fediverse.

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
People who delete their post after getting an answer are bad citizens of the community.
If everyone did that it would be a wasteland.
If I see you do it regularly I will block your posts so as to not waste time.
I think this is a good mentality to have. We need to preserve and archive the Internet as best we can. I really wanted to delete my old Reddit account after the API change, but I realized that it would make any tech support threads useless if I just deleted all of my potentially helpful comments. I've been there on the other end when looking up a tech support questions and the OP just deleted the solution I was looking for, that was the worst feeling!
Otoh sometimes people realize they posted something rude and insensitive, and are not the kind of asshats who double down on bad positions but instead prefer to take our lumps and try to do better in the future
There’s a difference between regretting a post and taking your ball to go home.
If so, it's entirely possible to edit the post by crossing out or even erasing all the offensive words and adding or substituting an apology. "I've realized I posted something rude and insensitive here, so I've deleted it and will try to do better in the future."
In a similar vein, I wish people who lose arguments could be better about leaving it up.
We’re all anonymous here so you shouldn’t let your ego get in the way of debating ideas and debunking bad ones.
Especially since there's no accumulation of points here! I like to look and see the reaction numbers, but they don't affect anything beyond that one moment in that one place.
yes i often do it because it sounds wierd or it is could be a misinterpretation. usually people are aggressive with things like misinformaiton/propaganda usually leave it up. aside from teh bots who delete theirs immediately.
Unless it’s legitimately a mispost (egregiously wrong place) I’ll usually just edit if I was wrong and let it stand for posterity so other fediverse users aren’t left wondering
Sometimes someone says something awful, and I just go the fuck off on them. Paragraphs of refutal, logic argument, citations. And I let it sit for a minute, and go back and delete it because I just don't like my vibe and honestly what difference will it make?
But then I get upvotes because some users can see deleted comments, and it makes me feel pretty good
I can't see deleted comments but I still upvote them because why not
Thank you for your service
I do that as well, except I don't hit send and delete it. Sometimes I just need something let out and doesn't need it to be out in the public
Sometimes typing it out makes it sound way more stupid than I initially thought so why bother

I delete my comments regularly few weeks after posting them, because often my paranoia kicks in, and I feel like I have to at least cover my tracks a bit. I do however, do my best to leave up all comments that answer something or have relevant information.
When I switch accounts to a new one, I delete my full comment history, though. I know this is bad for the continuity and history and everything, but I have not figured out ways to lessen my paranoia. And it does not help, that I somewhat lack in emotions, and do not care much, what people I do not know, think about me or my actions. So my options are, either keep doing this, or stop commenting. So far the first one has won.
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.
Here’s a fact! It doesn’t matter unless they actually a judge!
If I post in the wrong place I delete it. Don't care how you look at me.
From what I understand, this is more about legitimately good posts getting deleted and basically the solid info amid the responses getting lost/inaccessible as a result. Despite the decreased anonymity, the loss of information for the hive mind is severer than on Reddit, where deleted stuff can still show up in search engines, or something like that. I don't remember the details of how it works but it's a mounting problem with Lenny's design. Perhaps a better explanation here: https://programming.dev/comment/24979223
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

I really need to make an undelete instance. It would be incredibly easy to federate and then just ignore the code that executes a delete when it receives it via ActivityPub.
I dont even edit my misspellings anymore. Take me as I am, dumb ass and all.
dumb
as you are
as you were
as I want you to be
Out of a hundred possible good reasons to delete, it'll probably be perceived as something you did wrong, because then people can gloat.
Removed by mod
They really need to add a way to view mod removed posts
Do you mean the improvement of existing mod blog?
For comments that don't have any comment on them, it's like whatever but for I guess 'heated' internet arguements then really it's up to the moderators at this point but the current implementation is fine if we assume the two or more people arguing are more cordial or respectful, and if not, there's always a need for moderators in that way, I guess. Just my uninformed opinion.
I thought of deleting a comment here for the pun's sake, but someone did it already.
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 and Israel is a terrorist state and I 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..
What happens if you delete your account?
You disappear in real life, like inception
Wandering the void until your mind vegetates from 1000 years of boredom.
I have anxiety, and I talk wayyyy tooo much, okay? okay. [deleted] ;)
that's how they look at me if i don't delete it
These posts that are aimed at one person but pretending to be about lemmy in general are sophomoric and dumb.
Are you talking about me? There's no bad drama or negative backstory here. I made this just to show how overly anxious I am about being judged over basically nothing. I don't believe Lemmy users will judge me like that in actuality. I can assure you nobody has ever harassed me over simply deleting a comment lol This was just made in good fun! I'm not on Lemmy enough to get involved in drama or even remember everyones usernames for the matter.
If anything, Lemmy has been overly kind to me and I am lucky I haven't had any terrible experiences. The only time I deleted a comment, I received a message from someone saying they understand the issue I was going through and was so kind! Lemmy is awesome :)
