If your post would end up like that in a day, please just refrain from posting it, in any community, or use a throwaway. It is very destructive, especially since all and every comment also becomes unreachable with it.

Sincerely,
With all due respect,
Your Lemmy neighbor

I’m fed up with this shit, and I know it well that it’s not just me.

Do not bomb your communities, please.

I promise, I’ll end up setting up a public instance that does not obey any deletions because of these madlads. Seriously, where is pushshift for lemmy?

    I see, I’m sorry for your bad experiences.

    Or, ND content is simply ignored, ghosted, relegated to the void, either because NT people don’t know how to further engage with such a content, or because NT people couldn’t even bother to try and read it in the first place

    while the ND/NT devide can have a significant effect on what kind of responses a long post may receive, I think about those who obviously didn’t read beyond the first 10 words in yet another way. I think they have a mental disorder of severe attention deficit. there’s some nuance to it, like sometimes the person is just in a hurry or something, but this can often be seen from the quality of the response because that 3rd type of person I mentioned is very prone to make very short, meaningless comments, which also have other properties I don’t know how to put into words, but which make you feel they didn’t even try to give something useful. and brainrot platforms like tiktok really don’t help with this worldwide issue.

    That’s why I often find myself “nuking” my own content: because there’s no reason to keep a communication attempt that led to no meaningful and deep communication. I hope this clarifies one of the reasons why “Permanently deleted” could happen.

    I see. Hmm. The cases where I find deletion problematic always had something useful in them, either the post or the threads.
