For deleted content.
Did someone delete your post or your comment? Was that bullshit? Make a post in !deleted@quokk.au, tag the people you were talking to if any, and continue.
You can also pre-emptively make a post here, if there is some community whose rules prohibit the thing you would like to say to someone, but you’d still like to be able to say it. This does not include personal insults or anything of that nature, only forbidden viewpoints or similar weird rules.
I was inspired to publicize this idea when this link was deleted from !technology@lemmy.world, because lemmy.world moderation is great, and as far as I can tell was not reposted anywhere more suitable afterwards.
Have fun

So, like, “let’s continue this conversation outside” as a community concept?
Maybe it needs some kind of re-framing, so it’s clear that it is only for bad mod decisions. If it winds up as just people wanting to continue bickering when the mods are trying to stop them I will probably have to change something.
Call it Phil’s Bucket of [deleted] and make clear you’ll get rid of any posts for any reason, and then only allow discussions you think are interesting?
Yeah, maybe. I thought I made it pretty overt in the community rules, let’s see how it shakes out in practice.
it is only for bad mod decisions
Who can be the judge of that?
Me.
No no – me. Your judgement is flawed, obviously. Only mine is correct. /s
That sounds like it’s going to get real messy real fast
Platforms run by “free speech absolutists” tend to go that way
No, no, see: It’s going to be all people who just want to make a valid point and the jerkface moderators wouldn’t let them (which definitely does happen.) That other thing, where they are just convinced they need to be able to be unhinged at other people and throw insults around and now I’m going to give them a perfect place to do it, that doesn’t sound like something Lemmy would do.
(You may have a point. IDK, I’ll try being liberal with the banhammer if that does happen that way.)
Inb4 it’s just flame wars all the way down (with a side of harassment).
