I’ve only deleted comments when I actually regret posting them, like if I was an absolute dick to someone who didn’t actually deserve it
Yeah. I remember I got heavily downvoted on reddit once when I made an Office reference, which seemed weird to me since reddit usually loves the Office, but then I only slowly realized in context the reference inadvertently seemed really racist which was very much not my intention so I deleted it.
I rarely delete otherwise though.
I accidentally defended a paedophile once, didn't know who the person was, just wanted to make a shitty joke.... deleted that real quick.
Did u defend them about pedophilia or something elae?
Nah someone made a reference to someone in their 40s being too old for the person i "defended", I made a joke about not kink shaming, then someone explained it to me.
I misread it as they liked older people.
Gotta be careful making shitty jokes when you've been drinking all night.
Isn't it better to apologise?
I do both! I delete too cause I just don’t like keeping that negativity out there.
Sir, this is the internet.
And it can be as positive of a place as we can make it
You should try it
Leave it up to remind yourself you can be better.
Fuck you piece of shit fuck you
nod
Ur doin good
I leave them up, but edit to say what I think about it now. I value transparency and the willingness to change your mind when presented with new facts or apologize for being wrong, and I want to set an example for others to see. I've been an ass and said things I regret later, and I'll do it again I'm sure.
