I like the fact you can't delete....it kind of reflects real life. If you say something in a public room, words that come our of your moth - you can't delete. You can say sorry I did not mean to say that and I take it back. Choose words carefully when you say something - just like in real life.

I’ve said similar things before. But from observing the depressing user adoption rate over the past two years, it’s becoming obvious to me that this is one of the reasons.
Adoption rate doesn’t bother me personally - quality content and good people - folks will come and some will stay. Others didn’t belong here with the ethos anyways. I am free to say interact and have a choice to not be steered by Algos - just works fine. Fun, music, memes. Some prefer better versus bigger.
I tried to onboard a user. I explained they can't delete posts and that was an immediate deal breaker.
Many such cases.
Who are these people? I mean I get it, sometimes you say something that came out wrong, typos, 3AM ambient tweets, etc...
But to have this be SUCH a regular part of your life that you couldn't possibly imagine not being able to delete posts seems absurd. Like OK, if you're that worried, just don't put words on the public internet.
