Comment on Google Is the Only Search Engine That Works on Reddit Now Thanks to AI Deal
Liz@midwest.social 3 months agoNah, people should be able to take back what they said. No humans in all of history had to account for every thing thing they ever said. Better to let the past be forgotten. Can that be abused? Sure. But I think there’s value in letting people realize what they said was bad and take it down.

Better to acknowledge it in a response. I prefer to do that myself if I’m wrong or something of that nature, post a reply acknowledging instead of trying to cover up that I was ever wrong in the first place.

I agree with you, and I never delete what I post unless it was straight-up a glitch or a typo or something. But, I still think other people should have that option if they want it.

I think there’s a happy middle ground where deletion just disassociates the comment with you. It will show (deleted) or something but the original text remains.
Maybe there should be exclusions for personal or identifying information in such a system.

text can easily be traced back to its original writer nowadays using AI statistical analysis. especially on internet forums where people are not necessarily worrying about grammar and accuracy.

If you’re going that far you could probably just pull an old cached version of the page from before it was deleted

yes, that too!
