A large percentage of threads I've created or participated in have been deleted. Worse is that when visiting the URL everything is completely gone.

This is much more drastic when compared with Reddit thread deletions, where the thread is there and so is the discussion. And the creator of the thread has access to their content.

The Lemmy method discourages people from participating in threads and creating high-quality content, much more so than the Reddit method.

A bunch of lively and useful discussions on Lemmy have completely disappeared. And it makes it seem like a waste of time to even contribute content here.


EDIT: I see that the "fediverse" link for posts has been removed. I posted this to lemmy.ml from a lemmy.world account and there's no way for me to get the lemmy.ml link now. And when I crosspost it it shows a lemmy.world link instead of the lemmy.ml one. I think this should be changed [back].

Weird that applies to some people and not others....I know plenty of people who's opinions were rejected by society, and I'm told every day that I must accept their opinions...

I've heard this same argument used against LGBT individuals, Palestinians, Jews, etc...

So what makes this guy less deserving? Because he has a contrary opinion to you? The things being deleted are not Nazi propaganda. They aren't even hateful. They're just discussions that people disagree with...and because they're disagreed with, they get removed. Mods should not be removing things due to editorial opinion. If people don't like it, that's what the downvote button is for.
