Comment on Why do posts continuously end up "*Permanently Deleted*" here?

  Or get sick of the avalanche of replies in their inbox, since you can’t turn off notifications for responses to a post or comment unlike on reddit. The only way to make it stop is to delete whatever it was.

  Also I’m pretty sure by default if a user deletes their Lemmy account most clients also automatically delete all of their posts and comments. If a user gets fed up with us or decides the Fediverse is not for them, when they take their ball and go home that’s really what happens.

    I found turning off notifications completely really improved my lemmy experience. I’ll check them and clear them periodically in my own time.

      It doesn’t help either that the default web UI doesn’t actually clear off your notification bell even if you’re marked all replies as read until you force refresh the page. That’s kind of annoying.

      Other interfaces like Alexandrite and I presume Photon do it a little better.

        Isn’t that the Tesseract from the recent trama?

    Yeah, that too. I block the notification element with my adblocker

    I have to admit… I kinda get that sometimes. Maybe I’ll spin up a new user just to test if that’s it

  It can also mean that a mod removed the post. There was a dust-up in one of the self hosting communities a while back, when people were complaining about users deleting their “I’m having a weird issue with this setup, any tips” types of posts after getting answers. People were even talking about rules to ban repeat offenders.

  Turns out, a mod was deleting the posts and citing a “must be about self hosting” rule to say that they should be posted in a tech support community instead. But since the mod wasn’t active 24/7, the posts were often deleted after they had already been answered.

    The reason I remember it is because the whole thing ended with that mod throwing a tantrum, promoting some random users to mods with an “if it’s so easy to moderate, you fuckin do it then” message, and deleting their account.

    Can’t say I’m surprised. The quality of moderation here is, how do I say this… a fictional concept? It’s so easy to tell when someone is all “me want be important, me become internet dictator” and couldn’t give less of a shit about doing it vaguely properly.

  But deleting your own post or comments is not permanent, you still have the ‘undelete’ option, right?

    Are you using an app or the web interface?

    The reply below just shows “DELETED” on Connect, and I know from other posts that if a mod deletes them, it links to the modlog entry for the deletion.

  It doesn’t seem to mean that OP did it, because it doesn’t look like that when I delete my own stuff?

  • Dookieman12@piefed.social ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Idk then. Maybe a mod deleted it? Maybe OP was banned? Maybe the poster’s instance went defunct?
