I went to reply to a thread on this post and it is completely gone? Is this an error with federation or some thing? I haven't seen this happen before.

Unlike Reddit, when a user or mod deletes a post on Lemmy, its entire thread becomes completely inaccessible.

Such a novel concept these days. When you delete something it actually gets deleted.

Wasn't the philosophy completely the opposite in the fediverse since when something gets deleted, it just politely asks other federated servers to delete their copies of that content too and they could just... not do it?
SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de · 4 pts · 307d
Yup
Can also happen that the delete request gets lost due to network or downtime problem

I hate when people be replying some stoopid shit and I go to correct them and the thread is gone. I want to correct you, damnit!

Here, you can correct me and feel more gooder. The area of a circle is pie are good
actionjbone@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 308d
There is nothing to correct because pie ARE good
Nemo@slrpnk.net · 3 pts · 307d
And pie are, generally, circle.
actionjbone@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 307d
No, pie are squared.
toynbee@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 307d
Hey, you corrected them on needing to be corrected. Well done!
WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 307d
not really. It's rather when you delete something you posted, you delete lots of things other people posted.
rikudou@lemmings.world · 4 pts · 308d
It does not. It's still there in the databases.

That usually means it was deleted, either by the user or an admin.
Afaik, there isn't any way to be sure.

Ah, that's too bad. There was a lot of great discussion going on.

On a positive note, a Dev responded to that post indicating that the behaviour of the platform is being reviewed.

Cool! I wonder how piefed does it
MintyFresh@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 306d
I don't mind stuff being gone. Life is ethereal, live with it.

I was thinking the same thing, I'm pissed too because I was planning on coming back and downloading some of the TUI packages that had been mentioned, but when I went to reference the post it was gone. Guess I'll go fuck myself lol.

Hopefully it was deleted and the OP redirected to one of the gazillion linux communities.
sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 307d
I guess we disagree. I thought it was a great discussion-generating post. Linux isn't off topic in askLemmy afaik.

Late to the party, but to answer the question asked by the thread, we're probably obsessively checking for new updates to install.
