I don’t like being gaslit. Even if you just write some crazy nonsense, or you wrote something no one likes. Maybe you really should not have written that. It should be stored locally. If you want it.
Why would it get deleted? You mean by mods?
I think your client could theoretically back up all your posts locally. Should be easy to develop a client that does that. But it’s better to get in the habit to store your writings locally anyways. In a notes app or something.
Doesn’t hosting your own instance of Lemmy/Mastadon/fedi* solve that problem? As far as I know nothing is deleted that you post/commemt in that scenario or are you referring to the internet at large? If the latter yah, good luck with that.
deleted by creator
Yah certainly not trivial. Thats for sure.
If you’re being fediverse-specific you could set up your own instance, federate with everything, and have it save only the content you’ve interacted with. It’s a pretty narrow archive so it wouldn’t be too resource intensive. And if you’re techy it wouldn’t be too hard* to write a native activitypub client that did only this if you were active on eg lemmy and mastodon and pixelfed
- for certain definitions of “too hard”
Nothing stops you from saving things you post if this is a problem for you
Most of us don’t feel gaslit just because our post was deleted. We simply recognize that some mod didn’t want that content, for either a good reason or a bad one
