    I’ve only deleted comments when I actually regret posting them, like if I was an absolute dick to someone who didn’t actually deserve it

      Yeah. I remember I got heavily downvoted on reddit once when I made an Office reference, which seemed weird to me since reddit usually loves the Office, but then I only slowly realized in context the reference inadvertently seemed really racist which was very much not my intention so I deleted it.

      I rarely delete otherwise though.

        I accidentally defended a paedophile once, didn’t know who the person was, just wanted to make a shitty joke… deleted that real quick.

            Nah someone made a reference to someone in their 40s being too old for the person i “defended”, I made a joke about not kink shaming, then someone explained it to me.

            I misread it as they liked older people.

            Gotta be careful making shitty jokes when you’ve been drinking all night.

      I leave them up, but edit to say what I think about it now. I value transparency and the willingness to change your mind when presented with new facts or apologize for being wrong, and I want to set an example for others to see. I’ve been an ass and said things I regret later, and I’ll do it again I’m sure.

        If you have issues with autism you’re gunna have a bad time talking to me. Lemmy ain’t 4chan, but there is a 4chan community for you to talk as offensively as you like

            Using autism as an insult isn’t exactly colorful, it just shows you’ve never met and/or respected an autistic person.

            Colorful would’ve been something like “fucknut idiots with donkey cum for brains”, or “shitbrained human equivalents of a week-old used tampon”, or “assfaces who would lose a spelling competition to a dead camel”, etc.

            You could be a lot more creative, funny, and less offensive if your goal is colorful. If your goal is to regurgitate weak ass meme language from 4chan, keep equating people you don’t like with autism

    I think North Korea is an unpleasant place to be, Taiwan isn’t part of the PRC, and Stalin was a murderous dick. Makes me unpopular on Lemmy, but I gotta be me.

    Yea sometimes I get downvotes but I know I’m right.

    Sometimes I have upvotes on a cringe comment and delete those lol.

    I am too lazy and not petty enough to delete the comments I post. takes me too much effort to go thru with making one anyways

    On Reddit I feel like people would just look for heavily downvoted comments to tag in and add their two cents, which could easily mean your inbox exploding, so I could understand deleting just to stop the flood, but generally I don’t worry too much about deleting old comments just because people didn’t agree with me.

    Downvotes on Lemmy are just an indicator that you are unlikely to succeed as a socialist politician at the national level. Short of that, I would ignore their value.
