MODERATORS
I dont care if someone screenshots it, thats not what we're talking about. Nice strawman. I'm saying that when I delete something, it should be deleted. I cant do anything about screenshots nor do I care. By all means, record everything I say here if that interests you. When I hit delete, I expect what I'm deleting to actually be deleted. Not an image some person took of my comment, the comment itself should be deleted.
You again ignored 90% of what I said, made a strawman and acted like you said something insightful when you beat it. Were not talking about screenshots, were talking about the delete function.
If your next comment isn't an actual argument for why Lemmy should be exempt from the industry wide standard of user data control, then dont bother sending it. Youre just making yourself look ridiculous.
There's no direct analog to deleting a comment online. I'll give that I used an analogy that doesn't track, but it doesn't matter. The point of this entire discussion, the point where we started, was lemmy not actually deleting things when a user prompts it to delete them. It should do so. Every other major site does this. It's nearly the law. Users should be able to control their data.
Either provide some reason that users shouldn't be able to, or move on with your day instead of pointlessly throwing insults at me in some vain attempt to feel like you're winning at something.
Theres no reason we shouldn't. Youre still not providing a reason we shouldn't have this ability other than to say that we don't. Yes, I'm aware I dont have the ability to do that. Thats why I'm saying I should have the ability to do that.
Again, provide a reason why we shouldn't have that ability.
User should have control over their data. If it says delete then it should delete. It should say hide, if all it does is hide it. I'm leaving reddit because reddit does not respect its users. Why would people come to lemmy if lemmy openly has a policy of not respecting user's rights to control their data? People can die, people can make posts that involve the lives of other people too. There are as many reasons to be able to delete a comment as there are human experiences. Life is complicated.
The fediverse is ostensibly organized on leftist principles, its one of the reasons im even here. The rights of its basic users should be the most important function of the website. When a user is told they're deleting something, it should actually be deleted. They shouldn't be lied to.
