I can, however, make it slightly harder to do

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

... 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.
