Please check my post, I think everything I said is very valid, but I want this community to see it too, and help steer the discussion, I think reddit is doing this intentionally.

    I haven’t dived into how Lemmy handles edits specifically yet, but my understanding is that a version of the edit is saved into a log. This also brings up the point - if I can edit my post with a period to “delete” it, why doesn’t the delete work that way too?

    You can do that, and delete doesn’t work that way in case you want to restore your post.

    You can also, again, delete your account, and that will remove all of your posts.

    This respects privacy, and is convenient.

    https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2977 I recommend actually checking the issue tracker for that.
