    I’ve only deleted comments when I actually regret posting them, like if I was an absolute dick to someone who didn’t actually deserve it

      Yeah. I remember I got heavily downvoted on reddit once when I made an Office reference, which seemed weird to me since reddit usually loves the Office, but then I only slowly realized in context the reference inadvertently seemed really racist which was very much not my intention so I deleted it.

      I rarely delete otherwise though.

        I accidentally defended a paedophile once, didn’t know who the person was, just wanted to make a shitty joke… deleted that real quick.

            Nah someone made a reference to someone in their 40s being too old for the person i “defended”, I made a joke about not kink shaming, then someone explained it to me.

            I misread it as they liked older people.

            Gotta be careful making shitty jokes when you’ve been drinking all night.

    I think North Korea is an unpleasant place to be, Taiwan isn’t part of the PRC, and Stalin was a murderous dick. Makes me unpopular on Lemmy, but I gotta be me.

    One of the most downvoted posts I remember ever seeing was someone saying “But wasn’t he a psedophile and necrophile?” when Jimmy Saville died. That one turned around very quickly when all the stories came out in the media. Proof that sometimes you should stick to what you know is right.
