Doesn’t hosting your own instance of Lemmy/Mastadon/fedi* solve that problem? As far as I know nothing is deleted that you post/commemt in that scenario or are you referring to the internet at large? If the latter yah, good luck with that.

My crazy nonsense is usually more whimsical and silly than problematic, but that's probably still good advice.

Idk about your workflow... Maybe you'd like some browser extension like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/form-history-control/ ?
That one seems to store everything you ever type on the internet.

Why would it get deleted? You mean by mods?

I think your client could theoretically back up all your posts locally. Should be easy to develop a client that does that. But it's better to get in the habit to store your writings locally anyways. In a notes app or something.

If you’re being fediverse-specific you could set up your own instance, federate with everything, and have it save only the content you’ve interacted with. It’s a pretty narrow archive so it wouldn’t be too resource intensive. And if you’re techy it wouldn’t be too hard* to write a native activitypub client that did only this if you were active on eg lemmy and mastodon and pixelfed

• for certain definitions of “too hard”

You're free to save anything locally, aren't you?

I dunno about phones, but I use the SingleFile extension for LibreWolf. It saves a website page complete in one html file, including images.

Then host your own instance.

yeah i write some nonsense on the reg but i celebrate pride and love

If you use mastodon and post to the threadiverse by mentioning the community, you can get this property.

Nothing stops you from saving things you post if this is a problem for you

Most of us don't feel gaslit just because our post was deleted. We simply recognize that some mod didn't want that content, for either a good reason or a bad one
