@Edent I'd go with option 2, which seems to be what you're doing already.I think the solution should focus on building awareness for the consequences of publicly posting something.Of course your viral hot take might end up in a news story! It's okay if that bothers you, but then we need to talk about preventative measures. Auto-deleting your tweets/toots is simply not enough.But yeah, if someone asks you to delete their comment from your blog, just do it. Anything else is rude.
