    That’s one thing I don’t miss about reddit. Thousands of people rushing to be the first one to make the same tired joke. It was funny until every other comment was the same three jokes.

      Eh, let’s not pretend that Lemmy is a bastion of intellectualism. The same comments are in this thread, except fewer.

      Yeah, I never understood it, nor why they were always upvoted by the hundreds.

        I was seriously just sitting here being annoyed at deleted comments when I saw this. It’s actively harmful to coherent discussion to delete a comment after it’s been responded/reacted to, and it pisses me off that so many people seem to think it’s okay, or even laudable, to purge your history of participation in discourse.

          I half read the guys comment and ended up repeating what he already said so I deleted it and made another one. I did this fairly quick.

          Edit to add a screenshot of what you’re mad about being deleted.

            Hahaha, so this was a pretty large misunderstanding and I thought you literally posted “Deleted by creator 🗑” as an example of something that was harmful to Lemmy. I thought I was agreeing with you. 😄

              Might be the new way 0.19 is handling deleted comments. I’m seeing this all over.
