    I was seriously just sitting here being annoyed at deleted comments when I saw this. It’s actively harmful to coherent discussion to delete a comment after it’s been responded/reacted to, and it pisses me off that so many people seem to think it’s okay, or even laudable, to purge your history of participation in discourse.

      I half read the guys comment and ended up repeating what he already said so I deleted it and made another one. I did this fairly quick.

      Edit to add a screenshot of what you’re mad about being deleted.

        Hahaha, so this was a pretty large misunderstanding and I thought you literally posted “Deleted by creator 🗑” as an example of something that was harmful to Lemmy. I thought I was agreeing with you. 😄

          Might be the new way 0.19 is handling deleted comments. I’m seeing this all over.
