I think thread deletion is problematic and needs some consideration and changes (lemmy.world)

A large percentage of threads I've created or participated in have been deleted. Worse is that when visiting the URL everything is completely gone.

This is much more drastic when compared with Reddit thread deletions, where the thread is there and so is the discussion. And the creator of the thread has access to their content.

The Lemmy method discourages people from participating in threads and creating high-quality content, much more so than the Reddit method.

A bunch of lively and useful discussions on Lemmy have completely disappeared. And it makes it seem like a waste of time to even contribute content here.

EDIT: I see that the "fediverse" link for posts has been removed. I posted this to lemmy.ml from a lemmy.world account and there's no way for me to get the lemmy.ml link now. And when I crosspost it it shows a lemmy.world link instead of the lemmy.ml one. I think this should be changed [back].

It's exceedingly bizarre how many people on Lemmy rush to defend Reddit and attack other Lemmy users for anything possible.

This thread had absolutely nothing to do with that, yet you somehow dug through months of mod logs to find the one thread that would allow to you attack me.

"You have a history of being inflammatory towards Reddit on Lemmy! This is not acceptable behavior on Lemmy!"

"My posts keep getting deleted!"

"Shut up, r×ddit defender!!!"

If you really want to know, I've seen a lot of people just delete their old posts for privacy reasons. Trying to keep that internet footprint out of sight.

Nice try, but that's deceptive. This thread was not about my personal posts. I even gave an example of a recent thread (that I did not make) with hundreds of comments. You're further proving my point.

My guy: it's literally the first line of your linked post.

I even gave an example

You haven’t given an example. Where are your sources?
