Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I think everyone has a right to delete their posts.
I also think that you should, for all intents and purposes, treat every post as a public permanent record. Anyone can just use archive.today and grab a snapshot.
If you think a post is worth archiving, you should make a copy for yourself instead of hoping that OP never deletes it..
I agree that people should be able to delete their posts, but the problem is that they end up nuking everything in the comments itself.
Ideally it should be handled in a similar way to how Reddit does it: The post itself is "deleted" but the comments remain.
Yes, but that's more of software problem, can't blame any OPs for it.

Hmm... so in Piefed, a moderator can remove a post, but is unable view the post again in order to restore it. So there seems to be no way to undo an accidental deletion of a post... 🤔
Hum, why do you say this about Piefed when I linked a Lemmy pull request?
Because I'm testing federation stuff with a alt Piefed account. I noticed you are using Piefed, so I thought its relevent. Any changes to Lemmy wouldn't apply to Piefed.
Ah, it makes sense yes. What you said before shouldn't be the case, a mod should be able to see a post they have removed. Which Piefed instance are you using?
FYI @rimu@piefed.social and @wjs018@piefed.social
piefed.social
I also managed to break federation after adding this Lemmy account as a mod, then this account, as a lower-ranking mod, was able to remove my original piefed account as the top mod (at least when views from that one Lemmy instance)
Same with a Lemmy community, add the piefed account as mod, then the piefed account was able to issue a ban to the Lemmy account that's the top mod.
Weird.
Yeah mods removal can be messy between platforms, but on the other hand for Lemmy too it's still not recommended to mod from another instance than the community's one as some mod actions won't federate
