Request to Delete Old Posts

@matt, is there a reason I can't delete all my old stuff? Like is it just cuz it's 2 years old? Is there a timer or smth? Also if there is a reason, could u A) disable it for this acc, I wanna delete every, but I was a dumb and rasict fuck.

B) delete everything for me, (I'd advise not, cuz that's not ur job and I'm happy to do it

C) see point A)

And ik you could say it's my fault, which is it I'm not avoiding that, but I'm also not avoiding how badly I used to treat ppl and shitty ass stuff I used to post was wrong. So please?

And yes I could delete the account, but that doesn't remove any of the harm I've caused so

Cuz** not but kn A)

So corrections myself here, I would delete this but knowing u prolly gonna wanna read anyway so.

Basically, I've now realised that we can't delete anything over a day old. Look, for mods it makes sense, for mods over other people's posts and comments and things it's perfectly fine. But I really want to know why it's in place for our own accounts. I'd understand if it was too hard or smth. But at the same time, I would have thought u needed to code extra to put this in place? I'm just saying, I (and I'm sure many will agree with me) think that we should have complete control over our accounts. Deleting and not deleting whatever we've said no matter how long ago it was...

I agree that it should be possible to delete your own posts on the website. The reason why this is not possible yet is because comments on this post get deleted too and other people might want to keep these.

I plan to make it possible to delete a post text without deleting comments and also to make it possible to anonymize any post or comment.

If you want to have specific posts to be deleted, you can always send me an email or make a post with the links to the posts.

I don't see any racist posts btw. You should be able to delete comments of any age.

Fair enough, I don't mind the few comments under my stuff, and ngl I thought that would be the reason for it. But like out of curiosity when do you think you'll start working on post deletion with comments kept?

i’d also like to be able to delete old posts, specifically a few memes i have up because they’re references/screenshots of things with people who are no longer in my life and i’d rather not have that reminder up on my profile

matt can i please be a mod

Idk what this was for but let blach make the decisions for his account

DAP ME UP

W. But basically to sum it up: No one can delete anything they have posted over a day old (aside from comments) because in some of the post/memes/jokes they're are some comments ppl might want kept. And Matt is gonna work on a way to delete old posts but still let ppl see the comments.

oh now i get it i been struggling for a long ahh time to delete the cringy stuff i posted thank goodness matt is about to solve it

Still really ass tho. I get the whole people might want to see comments, but shouldn't it jsut be the ppl who have commented?
