I’ve seen this “deletion is not guaranteed on lemmy” warning shouted loudly and often by a few individuals over the past month or two, mostly on reddit. It makes no sense in context, because deletion is not guaranteed on reddit, either. Or on any other public forum.

For the record, lemmy devs addressed it in a discussion here.

I’m starting to think it’s propaganda sponsored by reddit, hoping to scare people out of leaving. A textbook example of FUD.
