As if https://xkcd.com/979/ wasn't bad enough, people are deleting posts and submissions now? Am I old and getting out of touch, or are kids these days not just not thinking through things before they post?

FWIW, I've never posted anything on SO and none of my GitHub comments/issues are going to be deleted. It's not so much what I post, it's more of a conscious thing, knowing I have stuff online for the world to see. It just doesn't sit well with me anymore. I'm not by any means a public figure or popular it's just tinhat things I guess.

Exactly. My earliest still available posts on the internet are from 1994 on Usenet. You can still find them.
I can confidently say that nothing I’ve ever posted on the internet would be ruinous to my career or personal life.
My spending time on *.advocacy in the 90s would be more embarrassing in a teenage high school picture type of way.
