(it really would be nice to see a more graceful handling of these)

    By the way I’m pretty sure Reddit is going to change how it handles deleted threads at some point.

    It will more resemble the Fediverse in that a removal (mods or users) glasses it entirely.

      Yikes. I mean, I get that sometimes that would be absolutely necessary - like CSAM - but most of the time it seems not so much? In the case of the multimillion dollar company Reddit, who already has an implementation to do things in a good way but then chooses to discard that, I would argue that such a change would be indicative of a shift towards greater authoritarian control.

      But that’s all the worse then for us to be doing the same identical behavior, even if for reasons of insufficient resources to accomplish the implementation of anything different.

      Edit: or do any of the 3rd party apps choose to do differently? That would not alleviate the responsibility of the software to do so, but it could help…

      Honestly that will doom reddit out of its little usefulness that’s left.

      I still keep finding solutions that still works from 10 years ago from a thread on reddit.

      So that said I don’t like glassing whole posts here on fediverse. For example, I kept a few bookmarks on some new music artists I wanted to check out but post deleted so everything goes lol 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
