Was it mods or self deleted?
Lemmy features modlogs, so you can just go check. It’s in the sidebar. Instances also have modlogs, so if admins did it, you can check that too.
Also I didn’t see the post, but it sounds like it would be against the community rules.
“Do you compress files, if so why?” would be a discussion question
“Help me fix my file compression problem” would not be
It was kind of like that. They were asking whether copying jpg files and compressing/decompressing them into and out of zips worsened their quality.
I don’t have the post’s text but this was my answer:
As others have pointed out simply copying the file, or compressing it in a zip will never ever change it. It is fundamentally the exact same file. If you load it up in a photo editor (not just viewer), and resave it from there, then it might lose more quality.
Renaming it to png changes essentially nothing about it. Most software will still recognize that it’s a jpg, and open it up as such. If they tried to open it as a png, they would fail. If you load the jpg into a photo editor and save it as png from there then it will actually change formats. But there is no point in doing this. The png’s file size will be much larger, and you can not get any of the quality back that you lost when initially saving it as a jpg.
The post was prior to deletion renamed to:
DELETED FOREVER. LOSER
so that’s cool…
Yeah thanks for the help (i am the guy who created the post)
You’d have to ask that guy, I suppose. He posted it to two different communities, and neither community’s modlog show that post being deleted by a mod, so they definitely removed it themself.
It is in the modlog but it was already renamed to
DELETED FOREVER. LOSER
That message is only in lemmy.ml, but the same post was made in lemmy.world and there’s no message like that at all. It’s possible one was deleted and the other was removed, but it’s also possible that that is a different post entirely. You’d need to ask the poster.
I commented on it and my comment history shows that as the post title.
Huh. Fair enough. Still doesn’t explain the lemmy.world one, but they might have had one deleted and deleted the other one as a response.
It was me i was the guy and i deleted on and the other one a mod banned because i edit the poat to something like deleted forever loser before deleting it . Like sheesh the mod banned it in 3 seconds or something good for them and i appreciate the dedication. Anyway why is me deleting a post such a big thing some user came to ask me in another post i made about it and i told them to dm me but they never did.
