There is a save button.
Sometimes the save button doesn't give you context for why you saved it and it's not something you check everyday.
There are also things called elephant trails.
People commenting to be able to easily come back to the topic are creating an elephant trail, which will exist regardless of the UI designer, if the software allows people to do it.
Except that the "ui designer" of most (all?) of the lemmy themes and apps have support for saved comments.
So no, it is just people being stupid and not understanding how websites work.
You can fight the elephant trails, or accept them being there. Your choice.
Yeah but I don’t ever use or look at that. Honestly, almost never go to look for shit later on here, so not a habit I have. So if I did save it, I wouldn’t see it til like 6 months from now and I’d probably just go… why the fuck is this saved? And delete it.
