I think this may be partially due to the poor design of LW which makes deletions visible.
Maybe, but it’s probably also going to be the userbase causing an extremer form of the Streisand effect. I mean, deleting comments? You might as well wave a red flag and say ‘hey nerdy libertarian free-speech guys—please pattern-match onto censorship to be righteously opposed, thanks!’ Facebook is a different interface, but also a different userbase with a different set of expectations.
I’ve certainly learned my lesson about the Streisand effect. With respect to everything else, I think I can manage to not care where they scream so long as they’re not doing it anywhere it’s visible to an LW user who doesn’t make a special effort to see it.
