No because the regret is mostly from a slight tone difference that I noticed seconds after posting, others don’t care and if deleting keeps my name on it that just makes it look worse than it is.
Basically the end of this clip by Gianni. EDIT: with the intro it does fit as me-to-also-me, if I cared a bit more

Hmm. It’s too late now to delete it… Now we just have to live with it.
Usually I delete them immediately after posting while still drunk. There’s something about clicking post that makes me immediately feel self-cringe.
Is this a time-sensitive question, OP?
I read a social media expert thread that essentially pointed out that the news cycle is now so rapid that doing nothing for a couple of days is better than doing anything because any response at all will be met with more news cycle.
Yes.
I end up banned from the community and have to change id to post.
Q.E.D.
Hell no. I’m accountable for what I say, even when drunk. I don’t try to erase my past or hide.
Comments online aren’t important enough to be worth deleting.
Only if I confessed to a crime or doxxed myself.
Otherwise, I leave it. Nobody really cares, anyway. They’re not gonna remember you the next day and call you out like “hey weren’t you that guy that said Daffy Duck had leather-daddy energy and that you would die on that hill?”
It’s fine.
The sober mind should always have authority over the non-sober mind and be able to overwrite it, no?
Public introxication laws come to mind, I think the logic applies. It also explains some of my own thoughts. If the mind with authority puts the mind without authority in charge, what happens is on the mind with the authority.
This is sort of like are you thinking with your brain or your cock. There’s usually a bad outcome when your penis over rules your sober brain.
Almost all of my Lemmy posts (except this one) have been done after a few beers. Sometimes I make a fool of myself by asking stupid questions, but I just own it and thank the responders for helping to set me straight. No sense in being embarrassed.
If it was something that could be seen by people I know irl, though, I would absolutely delete it.
I’d reread them sober, and then decide whether or not to keep them based on if they’d impact my future hiring prospects. If it’s just a bit silly that’s nbd
im one of those people with little to no filter so my drunk posts would not be to different than sober on that front.
Get off social media. Problem solved.
Including lemmy?
I just don’t drink, it’s not helpful to anyone anyways
I mean buzzed is a more flexible word than drunk, applicable even for too much caffeine.
A high on caffeine does not make you less alert. Sleep deprivation might though
I mean state of mind, judgement, and especially impulse. That’s not to say caffeine has a huge effect there, but I could see it resulting in people posting things they may otherwise think 3 times about before moving on.
And another user mentioned ambien, so there are definitely more options.
