It's already happened abundantly in my own posts; and I do it abundantly on the posts of others. If you design for it to happen, and get the incentives right, it can and will happen.

SN is not Reddit.

I'd say you're more or less right about all of your points, but SN is young and those are all works in progress.

Bookmarks are great to reread posts n comments

You'd be surprised, lots of people go straight to the comments before reading the main post. I'm guilty of that sometimes, more so for videos, but sometimes articles and forum posts like these on SN too. Reading the comments can give you a quick feel of what the main post is about and you can decide if you even feel like taking the time to dig into the main post. It'd be a shame if some of the comments are deleted and the flow of the conversation is interrupted all over the place...

That's why I suggested a feature - dissociate the comment from my account instead of completely deleting the text.

This does sound interesting. We could keep deletes but have another option "unlink nym" or something.

You mean something unlike straight up deleting your account?

After being an active Reddit user for years, I can assure you that people returning to old posts or commenting on them rarely happens, and I doubt that it will be any different with Stacker.news.

The more you want to make SN like reddit, the more it becomes reddit.

And we're all abandoning reddit, no?

I think that's too simplistic. There were things we all liked about reddit, too, or we wouldn't have been there in the first place. There's no problem with trying to reproduce and improve upon those features here.

Of course, you're right.

It just struck me as odd that a 4-day old account ¹ on SN was making so many references to reddit, while seemingly unaware (or maybe unappreciative?) of how often old reddit posts and comments are revisited.

improve upon those features here

That should be the aim, yes.

Excluding anonymous posts. ↩

Isn't that because old posts are archived on Reddit and can't be commented on?

The majority of people are primarily interested in recent/fresh posts.

How would you know that? The more posts there are the more "older" posts there will be to look at and review. Would it be convenient for a user to look at these posts with a bunch of deleted content?

I'm glad SN is providing you all with that option. Most likely this is just my ignorance, but I thought you could delete posts on nostr. Does it just delete your copy of it essentially?

There's a real interest in developing mechanisms that would help resurface old content here, so I think community interest will generate something functional.
