Edit: and what do you know, 16 minutes after cross-posting this to !piefed_meta@piefed.social, Rimu agrees, changes the code, and deploys onto piefed.social to retain deleted posts. PieFed really is something!! (announcement post)

Honestly, this is a major weakness of Lemmy. The OP of a thread can destroy a lot of content by other people, and they often do. I really don't get the reasoning behind allowing them that power.

    I figure it is simply negligence in that implementation of any kind of solution would take effort. PieFed is too new to have gotten around to it yet, Lemmy seems to want to rather spend time on moderating instances than on code development, and hardly anybody uses Mbin so I don't know its stance on the topic.

    I'm betting that six months from now very little if anything will have changed in this regard. Just like the previous six months, the six months before that, the six months before that, and so on. (But if I can say this without getting banned from this community, if something does happen to change this, it will be on PieFed.)

    I think they made deleted posts visible in Lemmy 1.0.

    I've just done it in PieFed 1.4.3, released now.

    In Europe you own almost all of the data you post online.

    This is about data posted by other people, though.

    It's up to Lemmy to safeguard that, not the OP.

    Reddit changes the stuff to [Deleted] or something like that.

    Uhm, yes? The discussion was never about anything else?

    Reddit changes the stuff to [Deleted] or something like that.

    I know, and I think that's preferable. Gives the OP a way to delete their own stuff while not destroying arbitrary amounts of other people's conversations and arguments.
