People are free to do as they please of course but deleting comments that answer questions seems to me to create decreasing value on SN.
I guess it depends on what value we are talking about, and not everything needs to be kept, and actually one of the reasons I prefer using SN over Nostr is the fact that I have the freedom to delete here:)
Yes, this all is very variable depending on the discussion and the people. I agree that not being able to delete on Nostr changes the way I think about. Just know, your server, not your delete key. SN is not trust-less. The Internet is a wild place and it is not hard to monitor a site like SN.
We all have our own mental and threat models. Appreciate the discussion here. It has made me think about some things I haven't thought about in a while. SN is very high signal and low noise.

My mentality is that it is ALL fodder for data collection / AI / State actors so just know that going into it. Delete stuff or don't post it but don't kid yourself and think it will never be connected back to you. Maybe it won't but don't go into with a false sense of security.
