I don’t know if keeping the usernames visible is a good or a bad thing at this point, but it kinda sucks for insecure people who don’t wanna get roasted lol

    Otoh sometimes people realize they posted something rude and insensitive, and are not the kind of asshats who double down on bad positions but instead prefer to take our lumps and try to do better in the future

      yes i often do it because it sounds wierd or it is could be a misinterpretation. usually people are aggressive with things like misinformaiton/propaganda usually leave it up. aside from teh bots who delete theirs immediately.

      If so, it’s entirely possible to edit the post by crossing out or even erasing all the offensive words and adding or substituting an apology. “I’ve realized I posted something rude and insensitive here, so I’ve deleted it and will try to do better in the future.”

        In a similar vein, I wish people who lose arguments could be better about leaving it up.

        We’re all anonymous here so you shouldn’t let your ego get in the way of debating ideas and debunking bad ones.

          Especially since there’s no accumulation of points here! I like to look and see the reaction numbers, but they don’t affect anything beyond that one moment in that one place.
