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.

    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

        I mean, if you have a masto account, like on mastodon.social or lgbtqia.space or wherever, you can post from that account to any community on the threadiverse (lemmy, piefed, mbin) by mentioning it in your post. So, for instance, you could include at-nwsl-at-lemmy.world (using the @ character instead of at-) in a mastodon post, and the resulting post would remain on your mastodon timeline, even if I moderated it from my NWSL community. If you want to see examples, a lot of the serious fediverse knowers post like this to !fediverse@fedia.io

    You’re free to save anything locally, aren’t you?

    I dunno about phones, but I use the SingleFile extension for LibreWolf. It saves a website page complete in one html file, including images.

      I’m saying the software should do that

      Edit;

      Things disappear after I have posted. Sure, it’s federated! So save it somewhere locally for a bit so I don’t feel insane about whether it even happened?
