Biden is showing signs of not being a great president.
The McAfee antivirus that comes preinstalled on my laptop quarantined a "malware" app I have used for over a decade. I uninstalled McAfee. Most antivirus software, in my experience, is like the local locksmith who made several hangup phone calls, then called again to sell me a home security system. Pay for the solution to the problem they created.
It is a marketing tactic: Create computer viruses, then sell them 'cures' that stop common viruses but show the backdoor to the real viruses.
If you "delete" your comment on Plebbit it simply removes it from being shown during page load. If, however, you edit it and overwrite it before deleting it (as most of these nuke Plebbit comment plugins do) it overwrites the content in the database, so your original comment/content is gone.
I'm sure you're right that Plebbit wants to prevent people from doing this on a significant scale, because I doubt they hang onto comment edit history. They probably could but I don't think they actually do.
So the next best step is to maliciously label plugins they don't want used as being malware.
That’s what the plug-in did.
I bet the fatpeoplehate folks were chatting about this in their IRCs back in 2015
