Comment on Why do so many people delete their posts?

It was with great pain that I recently deleted something like 50 to 100 of my own posts. They were all political. Lots of great discussions. But we live in a time where having the wrong kind of history on social media could make you a target either now or in the future. I’m sure a lot of that is still floating around one way or another but if I can reduce any spotlights on my ass it’s something I felt I had to do.
Since then I haven’t deleted anything. I try to keep my posts non-political. In my real life I am now focusing on bettering myself. I’ve given up on trying to change the country or anything like that. It can all they to ash. I’ve ran out of fucks to give.
But hey, I’m contributing on !loweffortmemes@crazypeople.online again, so there’s that.

You dont use your real name on Lemmy so I dont see why your history matters here. I could understand it on linkedin, which is why its a super cringe platform also, but here? I dont see a problem.

What I still post here is still genuine. I’m just biting my tongue about certain topics. No different than one would do while at work.

You shouldnt. Post and be downvoted. As long as you are not intentionally trolling anyone, it shows strength of character to stand up for what you believe.
Its very different from work where you are not free to do what you want, because your entire paycheck is based on going along with the charade. You dont have to do that outside of work. :)

Downvotes are not what I’m afraid of. I shouldn’t have to explain this to someone with your username.
