Because someone commenting leads to others spending time and effort responding. Deleting the comment breaks the chain. Don't comment if you feel that it's something you might want to delete. Think of commenting as like sending an email, but you get a short window to delete in this place.
- amazingamazing 2mo agoDo you believe the same about search results not being able to be deleted? I also assume this means you disagree with gdpr?
- EA-3167 2mo agoDo you not see the difference between a person volunteering to broadcast a post, vs a bird party scraping the web to index it for searching?
