MODERATORS
 

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?

Debate boards here just wouldn't work out even with equivalent population. The OPs regularly delete their posts out of embarrassment. Religious debaters especially.

What a waste it'd be to put the effort into a debate only for the entire thread to get nuked out of existence because the OP can't handle the responses. It's annoying enough to just lose the OP arguments on reddit when they self delete. Here, everything is just gone.
