I’m getting annoyed with people that ask a question, have the community answer their question and troubleshoot over several days, only to delete their post and the solution.
The person asking the question is often providing the least amount of effort, so why should they have exclusive right to delete the contributions of others?
Possible fix: have a per-community option to only request deletion.
This would be considered breaching the law. People have the right to delete their shit, you can’t take it from them
There’s copyright, but that is easy to get around by just making it part of the terms and conditions of a website that by posting you grant a right to republish.
What law are we talking about here?
You know, that one law about the recycling bin on windows.
But seriously, I assume something from the EU akin to GDPR?
I think it should have to go through a mod. You can publicly hide your name from the post (it still needs to be visible to mods for moderation purposes), but you should be have to ask a mod for total thread deletion.
Although that may not be the answer either, someone pointed out apparently mods are nuking threads too???

Maybe legally, but a federated collection of social sites like this doesn’t operate under a single model. If you post something to Lemmy, you can never fully control what happens after.
