    Don’t ask for permission … ask for forgiveness

    The age old mantra of authoritarians and corrupt officials. What use is it to point out wrongs from the past if nothing will ever be done about it … and worse will be repeated again in the future?

        We have someone who does it every day. Makes an account, posts lots and lots, then deletes their account.

        I added some code to PieFed which automatically deletes posts by new accounts that self-delete. It worked so I had to use my lemmy.world account to reply.

          That sounds like a fantastic contribution to the fediverse.

          Sounds like suspicious behaviour. So removing and even tracking that kinda crap would be some great tooling!

          Perhaps an addition would be something that notifies people that interact with the deleted post/user to let them know of the deleted accounts behaviour.

    Sweden didn’t do anything in response to covid and it wasn’t any worse there than places that took extreme precaution
