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 support this.

People need to deal with their own bullshit, and also understand that... the internet is forever.

Take some accountability and grow from a mistake, and foster a culture where its normal to be stupid and wrong about some things, and then grow... none of this bs 'i have never had a bad take' nonsense.

If you want something to be temporary, figure out how to say it in an actually temporary, disposable way.

    I only have bad takes and my entire life's purpose is to keep making them worse.

    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.

    ... 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.

    ... 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 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.
