Back on reddit, a good half of the comments I would have left got deleted as soon as I posted them. Lemmy has forced me to make sure I’ve said something relevant, because if I leave a comment and then delete it, everyone gets to know that I did that, and that makes me feel even worse than saying something slightly off topic

I mean, if it is not related to a specific “parent comment”, you could simply post it as a 1st rank comment to the post instead?
