ill delete mine if:
-
it has any form of information that could potentially be used to personally identify me when I realize retroactively
-
i get embarrassed when I try to contribute to a community and get down voted to oblivion
-
I tend not to, but only because I don’t post a lot.
But I’ll echo some of the answers here and say that if I would delete my post it’d be because:
- it was a duplicate
- it was posted on the wrong community
- it was not the “right kind of post” for the community
- it offers nothing of value
And fears that my post will be one of those listed above keeps me from posting.
As for comments, I also tend not to delete, but might if:
- it was a duplicate
- it was posted on the wrong thread
- it was not the “right kind of comment” for the post
- it offers nothing of value (but I tend to let this be anyways)
And again, fears that my comment will be one of those listed keeps me from commenting.
Some bot accounts delete routinely so their behavior cannot be studied as easily.

why?
that’s why
I wish I could delete what I say in real life too tbh
Cuz I said some stupid shit and wanted it gone before anyone noticed.
Unfortunately deletes don’t always federate so it doesn’t help
More often than not this is the reason right here. I post, then go reload to see my post out in the wild. Sometimes it takes a minute to realize I must erase its existence.

I’ve always read deleted by creator as God vaporized them for their terrible comment.

Perfect
I generally only delete posts when I double post on accident. I’m happy to leave my stupidity on display because fuck it.
Sometimes I’ll downvote myself if that seems to be the popular consensus. Who am I to disagree?
Sweet dreams
are made of
Same reason. It just sucks when you accidentally do a duplicate post, delete the duplicate, and it still shows up for some because of federation. Like I deleted one and it was still showing up on Piefed.
That’s the spirit!
Same. Had to delete a mistaken cross post but that’s about it here.
On other sites though, it’s because corpo media can suck it.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "YOU PEOPLE?"What do YOU mean, “you people”!?
Usually it’s just that upon reflection, I didn’t look as hot as I thought i did.
I’ve only ever deleted one comment I’ve made. I was having a bad day, I was being overly pissy and inflammatory, and the comment didn’t add anything to the conversation. If I had been the mod of that community, I would have deleted it and possibly banned myself. Since they didn’t, I did. Once I came to my senses.
For the most part, though, I’m happy to leave my stupidity up for the future to see.
