    I often delete old posts because sharing my entire post history feels intrusive to me.

    You realize with the way lemmy works, when you delete a post, it only deletes it for sure on your instance*. Every other instance it is federated with gets a request to delete that post but it may or may not be acted on. I’ve made posts, realized I misread what I was replying to, deleted my comment, and still got replies for weeks.

    *or the one you’re posting to, not 100% sure here

    Just sharing because a lot of people (myself included) didn’t realize that’s how it worked.
