I made an account here without an email address (I done that on reddit too but you can’t anymore)
I can use various websites to view deleted reddit comments
I would never consider anything that I have let leave my device as “deleted” anyway
Comment on If Open Source is so great...

Well, for one Lemmy has zero respect for privacy. You can’t even delete a comment. A comment is eternal. At least you can do that on reddit.

You literally can’t. People have deleted their whole comment histories and have them restored by reddit admins.
Interesting. I didn’t know that about deleting comments. The web client on my instance has a delete button, but is there some kind of issue with that change not necessarily propagating to other instances?
It doesn’t bother me much personally since you never really can be sure that you deleted something from the internet. Even if reddit deletes a comment, you can possibly find it on an archive somewhere. Anything you toss onto the web should be something you’re comfortable with the world knowing.
Virtually anything you post on the internet is eternal. A better example would be your upvotes as they are also synchronized according to instance admins.

If you expect privacy on social media you should take an iq test
