I wrote a long thoughtful reply to a heavily downvoted post only to find the post had been deleted before I could hit submit, and I hadn't copied the text.

Oof that is pain. I have started to just move to a local text editor when i realize the comment is getting long.

I have a window open in my preferred text editor that is perma-opened for ephemeral writing just such as you’re describing.

I have a specific file for this purpose too! For anything longer than 10 words really. I hate it when I accidentally hit enter in those little chat boxes.
