I’ve only deleted comments when I actually regret posting them, like if I was an absolute dick to someone who didn’t actually deserve it
- Yeah. I remember I got heavily downvoted on reddit once when I made an Office reference, which seemed weird to me since reddit usually loves the Office, but then I only slowly realized in context the reference inadvertently seemed really racist which was very much not my intention so I deleted it.
  I rarely delete otherwise though.
  
  I accidentally defended a paedophile once, didn't know who the person was, just wanted to make a shitty joke.... deleted that real quick.
  
  Did u defend them about pedophilia or something elae?
  
  Nah someone made a reference to someone in their 40s being too old for the person i "defended", I made a joke about not kink shaming, then someone explained it to me.
  I misread it as they liked older people.
  Gotta be careful making shitty jokes when you've been drinking all night.
- Isn't it better to apologise?
  
  I do both! I delete too cause I just don’t like keeping that negativity out there.
  
  Sir, this is the internet.
  
  And it can be as positive of a place as we can make it
  You should try it
- Leave it up to remind yourself you can be better.
- Fuck you piece of shit fuck you
  
  nod
- I leave them up, but edit to say what I think about it now. I value transparency and the willingness to change your mind when presented with new facts or apologize for being wrong, and I want to set an example for others to see. I've been an ass and said things I regret later, and I'll do it again I'm sure.
