And it's so much easier to take the L in the fediverse (assuming you can live with making something people don't like). I've got a few comments that were bad/not well received and felt no obligation to delete them out of shame.
I’ve been downvoted into the dirt a few times. It just means folks don’t have a homogenous opinion. As long as someone isn’t getting downvoted for bigotry, it’s fine and disagreement is okay.
Lemmings can be some of dumbest people alive but also smarter than 99% of the planet (let's stop pretending America is the only country doing stupid things)
We do willingly call ourselves lemmings after all
(yes I know the animals aren't actually trying to answer the call of the void as they've been depicted)
Nope, me either. Either try to clarify if there was a misunderstanding, which can be its own battle as people dig in very easily on the internet and don't reread and realize it wasn't what they thought. Or just let it be and move on, you said what you said.
Granted I have had a few rare deletions, but only because I totally missed the point and only saw it after posting. I do try to read over before hitting that button.
When I first moved to the Fediverse, I discovered that my comments didn't actually delete. That is, I used to use the then-new Sync for Lemmy, and every time someone deleted their comment, it would still show the original comment, but flag it as "deleted by creator" or something like that.
I noticed some people got around that by editing their comment to just be a period or something and then deleting it. But I learned early on to be sure of my posts before posting, and not to bother arguing with people online as your comments might come back to haunt you if you were in the wrong. Once it's posted online, it might as well be permanent. It's much better to own up to your mistake in the comments than try to delete your comments.
I use Voyager for Lemmy now and I don't see deleted comments anymore with this app. But I suspect they're still in the system, recorded for posterity on someone's instance.
Only time I delete is if I've broken a rule... because apparently I'm lawful good?
Yeah, the only times I delete stuff is if someone else posted the same thing, or I completely misread something. Otherwise, I just let it be.
Piefed has a dedicated button for "Oops, I fucked up with this one". It adds a disclaimer that you changed your mind and locks the thread without deleting it.
amazing feature
I deleted a comment when I realized I read the post wrong and people called me out on it lol
