ill delete mine if:
-
it has any form of information that could potentially be used to personally identify me when I realize retroactively
-
i get embarrassed when I try to contribute to a community and get down voted to oblivion
-

Perfect
I wish I could delete what I say in real life too tbh
Cuz I said some stupid shit and wanted it gone before anyone noticed.
Unfortunately deletes don’t always federate so it doesn’t help
More often than not this is the reason right here. I post, then go reload to see my post out in the wild. Sometimes it takes a minute to realize I must erase its existence.

why?
that’s why
I generally only delete posts when I double post on accident. I’m happy to leave my stupidity on display because fuck it.
Sometimes I’ll downvote myself if that seems to be the popular consensus. Who am I to disagree?
Sweet dreams
are made of
That’s the spirit!
Same. Had to delete a mistaken cross post but that’s about it here.
On other sites though, it’s because corpo media can suck it.
Same reason. It just sucks when you accidentally do a duplicate post, delete the duplicate, and it still shows up for some because of federation. Like I deleted one and it was still showing up on Piefed.
I tend not to, but only because I don’t post a lot.
But I’ll echo some of the answers here and say that if I would delete my post it’d be because:
- it was a duplicate
- it was posted on the wrong community
- it was not the “right kind of post” for the community
- it offers nothing of value
And fears that my post will be one of those listed above keeps me from posting.
As for comments, I also tend not to delete, but might if:
- it was a duplicate
- it was posted on the wrong thread
- it was not the “right kind of comment” for the post
- it offers nothing of value (but I tend to let this be anyways)
And again, fears that my comment will be one of those listed keeps me from commenting.

Some bot accounts delete routinely so their behavior cannot be studied as easily.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "YOU PEOPLE?"What do YOU mean, “you people”!?
I’ve only ever deleted one comment I’ve made. I was having a bad day, I was being overly pissy and inflammatory, and the comment didn’t add anything to the conversation. If I had been the mod of that community, I would have deleted it and possibly banned myself. Since they didn’t, I did. Once I came to my senses.
For the most part, though, I’m happy to leave my stupidity up for the future to see.
Usually it’s just that upon reflection, I didn’t look as hot as I thought i did.
I regularly notice how some people simply delete their post because they don’t like the way people are answering to it. It’s fine they don’t like those answers, it’s not fair they are given the power to mute them.
I find that behavior annoying. Not because someone deletes their post. I mean, they’re free to do whatever they want, but because by doing so they also render the entire discussion unavailable.
Like if all the other participants were submitted to their whims.
Imho, a solution could be to let people delete their post but not the technical-something-whatever that made their post accessible to read and to answer. And so, no matter how shy or regretful the OP could ever be, people that have answered would not be dependent on their willingness to let them speak. And even if the OP was deleted other people would still be able to read the comments and maybe keep on discussing without te OP being involved.
There was a user or two I would explicitly quote their whole comment because of this.
Had an other user constantly edit his post to add points after I replied which was much worse imo.
The only time I ever delete a comment is if it’s within 30 seconds of posting it, as to not cause things like this.

I considered doing that too a while ago, but then realized it was more work & wasted time for us, right? While we could still see the whole thread risk being deleted because OP decides to? So I decided not to. Instead, I block the persons I’ve noticed doing that so I don’t to waste my time reading their posts anymore in the future and won’t risk wasting even more time trying to comment.
Simply put, since they consider it’s ok for them to delete everyone’s content who participated because they’re unhappy about how it turned, well, I help them stay deleted once and for all from my feed ;)
