They're judging me, aren't they?

You'd rather be exposed to unintended idiocy?
Someone elses idiocy can be your guide to wisdom.

I delete my comments regularly few weeks after posting them, because often my paranoia kicks in, and I feel like I have to at least cover my tracks a bit. I do however, do my best to leave up all comments that answer something or have relevant information.
When I switch accounts to a new one, I delete my full comment history, though. I know this is bad for the continuity and history and everything, but I have not figured out ways to lessen my paranoia. And it does not help, that I somewhat lack in emotions, and do not care much, what people I do not know, think about me or my actions. So my options are, either keep doing this, or stop commenting. So far the first one has won.Seems like good practice. I just recently learned that your up/downvotes are also visible for everyone, which seems odd and sketchy privacy wise. Which result in way less voting by me.

They really need to add a way to view mod removed posts
What do you mean you don't?
-
If I post in the wrong place I delete it. Don't care how you look at me.
What of someone posts empty comments as an answer to a hot thread, then deletes it, to make people think the person knew the answer?
I know what I'm doing today!

I support this.
People need to deal with their own bullshit, and also understand that... the internet is forever.
Take some accountability and grow from a mistake, and foster a culture where its normal to be stupid and wrong about some things, and then grow... none of this bs 'i have never had a bad take' nonsense.
If you want something to be temporary, figure out how to say it in an actually temporary, disposable way.
I just gave up on that, decided to thwirl my moustache.
If someone interprets my comment wrong, I will just play up the role of a really fucking evil guy.
Life is easier when you don't care.
All that matters is getting X goods to Y people.
Everything else is cheap.

... you don't get it.
If you made a post, on lemmy, and then deleted it?
... you didn't actually delete it.
Somebody already archived it. Some three letter organization, probably many of them, and they often talk to each other.
An undelete instance would just make that more obvious to more people.
If you're worried about persecution due to being a minority or supporting them... you need to actually learn how to secure your online communications, you need to figure out how to effectively seperate your real identity from your online one.
Lemmy is public.
Anyone can archive the entire thing, at any time. If you are worried about the fascists, as you should be, you need to learn actual security and privacy practices.
... the internet is forever.
The doorkickers aren't going to care that you 'deleted' your post after they already made a copy of it.
Good thing I actively declare that I'm going to [fucking dumb rules, nwm for now]

No troll unturned.

You have "see upvotes/downvotes" turned on?
I'm a slut for democracy, how would I self medicate without them? /hj

It might be easier, but its also lonlier, and more hostile.
And, some things... some valuable things cannot be bought nor sold.

I get it just fine.
I post on Lemmy because I wish to take a brief moment to communicate with other people about a specific subject. I don't do it because I wish to take part in the construction of an online archive of everything that anyone has ever said that can be easily scanned to profile people, harass them, and for other such fun anti-social uses of technology.
I know perfectly well I cannot prevent anyone from doing that. I can, however, make it slightly harder to do. And I choose to do so because I can.
What you have done is create a moral justification for surveillance capitalism. Zuckerberg would be so proud.

... No, I haven't.
i've described reality as it is.
I've also said that in general, people should be allowed to publically make mistakes and publically learn and grow from them.
If you want lemmy to ... actually support truly deletable posts and comments? And also be public facing?
Go redesign it then.
You are ignorant of how the actual mechanisms at play here work, and you've decided that me describing them to you is somehow a moral defense of surveillance capitalism.
You can't have something that is totally public yet is also truly totally redactable at the same time.
You're just mad that you don't understand how software works, and lashing out wildly.
I don't do it because I wish to take part in the construction of an online archive of everything that anyone has ever said that can be easily scanned to profile people, harass them, and for other such fun anti-social uses of technology.
Then stop communicating on any public facing communications platform.
What you said there applies to all of them.

What happens if you delete your account?
You're doomed to circle the drain until you find yourself back in the Cesspit of Redderp, trying to keep yourself whole until you can escape again —hopefully, untainted by the no-effort nazis, pedo-fans, cumboxes, etc. that churn in that "fun-sized" alphashit soup.

I don't know if keeping the usernames visible is a good or a bad thing at this point, but it kinda sucks for insecure people who don't wanna get roasted lol

Being roasted isn't the end of the world. You will emerge cooked but flavorful.
Seriously though just remember we are all just bots anyway /s

That's all I got then, lol. Maybe some posts get like hard deleted in addition to just being removed?
