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

This is the way.
I see what you did there. Take my upvote!
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.

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.
not just ‘whoop, someone made the same joke as me, welp, here I sit’
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
You have “see upvotes/downvotes” turned on?
I’m a slut for democracy, how would I self medicate without them? /hj

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 by me elsewhere in this post: https://programming.dev/comment/24979223
Sometimes I comment, then immediately think about it and say “I really dgaf” then delete it. Look at me funny all you want.
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!
No troll unturned.
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 hoping the other wolf doesn’t win 🤘🏼

“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
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
Wait, yall arent dogs as well?
Some weird part of me wants to be an alien dog from 7 11 Taiwan
Does that count? Picture included
You don’t get roasted, people just assume you said something naughty.
What’s funny is that with the wonders of federation you can downvote deleted comments that you never saw the text on.
Here’s a fact! It doesn’t matter unless they actually a judge!

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
These posts that are aimed at one person but pretending to be about lemmy in general are sophomoric and dumb.

You could always block the people making these posts instead of ineffectively complaining.
Out of a hundred possible good reasons to delete, it’ll probably be perceived as something you did wrong, because then people can gloat.
