So say I make an account on lemmy.world and post a bunch of stupid comments around other instances then decide to delete my account because I’m ashamed of them. After I delete my account, a copy of all those comments I made on other instances remain on those instances as a “shadow copy.” There isn’t any way to actually delete them all. The copies of the comments/posts on your home instance will be deleted
tldr: Don’t say stupid shit on other instances you’ll regret later! They never leave that instance!
Why YSK: so you can think carefully about what to comment and post.
I migrated from beehaw. You can see my previous post history here: [email protected]
Yes you should be able to edit the comments. But those edited comments will remain in those other servers. Also if you make a ton of comments do you really want to edit them all?
Will I always be talking rubbish? 🤷
I guess you could automate it.
