A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Please check my post, I think everything I said is very valid, but I want this community to see it too, and help steer the discussion, I think reddit is doing this intentionally.

I haven’t dived into how Lemmy handles edits specifically yet, but my understanding is that a version of the edit is saved into a log. This also brings up the point - if I can edit my post with a period to “delete” it, why doesn’t the delete work that way too?

You can do that, and delete doesn't work that way in case you want to restore your post.

You can also, again, delete your account, and that will remove all of your posts.

This respects privacy, and is convenient.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2977 I recommend actually checking the issue tracker for that.

I just disagree. Let me restore my post for a limited amount of time before hard deleting it. Make the policy around that data transparent.

I have checked the issue tracker. Privacy concerns are coming up pretty regularly there. Other people seem to value it too. Lemmy has an opportunity to set a new standard around user privacy in this space and I hope we can take that opportunity.

Post it to the issue tracker, it seems like it just hasn't been updated with that functionality yet, not that they won't do it.

My intention is to be a contributor. Rust is my second favorite language. Thank you for the discussion.
