I saw a comment somewhere saying the title and had links but I lost the comment now. One of the links was going to raddle.me which is a Reddit like site

      Theres no reason we shouldn’t. Youre still not providing a reason we shouldn’t have this ability other than to say that we don’t. Yes, I’m aware I dont have the ability to do that. Thats why I’m saying I should have the ability to do that.

      Again, provide a reason why we shouldn’t have that ability.

          User should have control over their data. If it says delete then it should delete. It should say hide, if all it does is hide it. I’m leaving reddit because reddit does not respect its users. Why would people come to lemmy if lemmy openly has a policy of not respecting user’s rights to control their data? People can die, people can make posts that involve the lives of other people too. There are as many reasons to be able to delete a comment as there are human experiences. Life is complicated.

          The fediverse is ostensibly organized on leftist principles, its one of the reasons im even here. The rights of its basic users should be the most important function of the website. When a user is told they’re deleting something, it should actually be deleted. They shouldn’t be lied to.
