I know this definitely isn’t the right community to ask this, but I have been struggling to find the “how the fuck does lemmy work” community. So far I’m loving lemmy and everything I’ve experienced. My only concern is that with it’s decentralized fediverse nature, is it impossible for a user to delete a post or comment they make?
Yes, though to be fair, you should treat the majority of the internet like this regardless. Between archival web scraping bots and just random people screenshotting, all deleting on a centralized platform does is delete the original. Nothing about every copy people make. I've been able to pin plenty of people with receipts about comments they deleted on reddit because a different device still had the push notification with their comment.
The leftist echo chambers of Lemmy are seriously disheartening.
