Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yep, and I still see your whole comment in my inbox. The latest version though, so it appears my editing trick should work as intended.
I feel like they should advise you about this when you delete something or do the . by default.
You should always be aware that anything you post online might not be deletable after you post it, even if the platform itself has a delete button.
On that platform, the delete button might actually be a hide button (or a hide and flag button, since deleted comments might be more likely to be interesting, since the author changed their mind about saying it).
But even if the platform does honour the delete action in good faith, crawlers could have already saved it. There were sites specifically for showing deleted comments for Reddit before the API change, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are some today that just parse the html.
With the way the fediverse works, someone could create their own implementation that specifically highlights the parts that most servers hide. Like deleted posts, voter identities, I think even private messages that cross from one instance to another.
Safest to assume that once you post something, it's out there forever and might not be as private as you'd like. And, depending on the platform, even those posts that get written but then the author decides to close instead of post could be saved somewhere. If the text has any real-time interactions with the server, the question is if the client or server is responding to those. For example, I don't think that Google sends all search suggestion possibilities to all clients so they can locally suggest searches based on text entered.
Also try typing @ followed by random letters here. The server is open source, which means you can look at what it does. But it also means instance admins can edit that code to do whatever on their server.
Well I know that not everything is deleted and it's often just a flag, but I'm more annoyed that the lemmy UI's don't respect the flag, even if the content is still there.
