Yeah. I remember I got heavily downvoted on reddit once when I made an Office reference, which seemed weird to me since reddit usually loves the Office, but then I only slowly realized in context the reference inadvertently seemed really racist which was very much not my intention so I deleted it.
I leave them up, but edit to say what I think about it now. I value transparency and the willingness to change your mind when presented with new facts or apologize for being wrong, and I want to set an example for others to see. I’ve been an ass and said things I regret later, and I’ll do it again I’m sure.
If you have issues with autism you’re gunna have a bad time talking to me. Lemmy ain’t 4chan, but there is a 4chan community for you to talk as offensively as you like
Using autism as an insult isn’t exactly colorful, it just shows you’ve never met and/or respected an autistic person.
Colorful would’ve been something like “fucknut idiots with donkey cum for brains”, or “shitbrained human equivalents of a week-old used tampon”, or “assfaces who would lose a spelling competition to a dead camel”, etc.
You could be a lot more creative, funny, and less offensive if your goal is colorful. If your goal is to regurgitate weak ass meme language from 4chan, keep equating people you don’t like with autism
I’ve only deleted comments when I actually regret posting them, like if I was an absolute dick to someone who didn’t actually deserve it

I rarely delete otherwise though.
I accidentally defended a paedophile once, didn’t know who the person was, just wanted to make a shitty joke… deleted that real quick.
Did u defend them about pedophilia or something elae?
Isn’t it better to apologise?
I do both! I delete too cause I just don’t like keeping that negativity out there.
Sir, this is the internet.
And it can be as positive of a place as we can make it
You should try it
Leave it up to remind yourself you can be better.
Fuck you piece of shit fuck you
nod
