I got excited about Scuttlebutt but was troubled by my inability to remove old content. It created a chilling effect. I hope I just misunderstood that.

- concerned_user 9y agoIt is just the reality of the situation, when you publish something on the internet and then delete it, even if it is an entry in your private blog that runs on a Raspberry Pi on your desk if you had at least one visitor you can't guarantee they didn't save a copy and that hey won't distribute it again later.
- black_puppydog 9y agoas cornered_user also stated, that's just a reflection of what "publish" means. You could also see it as the other side of "censorship resilience". On twister, you could regularly see people having their "oh shit" moment when they published a post with a typo or such for the first time. You get used to it.
