Maybe the option should be removed, because technically you could create your own private Lemmy instance and mirror everything but disable deletion. Now you have all the information available people deleted. You could go even further and create a browser plugin so everyone else could see all deleted posts. You could do the same and create a plugin, to display usernames of everyone who voted on a post, as that information is publicly available. It’s just hidden. So there’s still a lot of work on Lemmy required to streamline this or it might get never solved.

On another note you could create an instance that only displays deleted content. Now I wonder what that looks like. Scary.

I use Connect app on my Android. I don’t use Lemmy desktop yet, as I dislike the UI a lot. Quality of life features, like infinite scroll, are missing because of personal believes, which I disagree with.

You mean Gmail drafts? I know from at least one case where criminals used this, they shared the Gmail account password and messaged each other only via the drafts function. So technically there was never a mail send.
