Can someone explain to me, why, whenever you delete your comment or posts on lemmy.world, you are still able to find the comments or deleted posts using mastodon by finding the user and you can still browse through the deleted posts or comments by that person? Do they ever get deleted? And if not, what’s the point of having a delete button 😅Thanks

    Nothing is ever deleted. Just create a new unrelated username and whatever you do, don’t use your real email address for sign-up.

      I do that already, well tbh I don’t care about my account personally as I’m not doing anything wrong or I don’t need to hide anything. But it is better for other people to be aware what they post on here as it’s never deleted as you say 😊

        It’s best to assume everything you add to the internet is never deleted. That is the much more likely scenario.
