LPT Instead of just removing a message, add an explaination why its irrelevant
Sometimes we send a message out of anger, being too eager or just by simple mistake. We often just remove the message but that often leads to an unnecessary ping-pong of 'what did you want?', 'what was that?', 'did you message me?' and so on (especially on discord that can leave a notification, but not the message) - this can be frustrating because you end up engaging in a convo you may not wanted in the first place
The simplest fix is to just follow up with - may be bullshit - explaination why its irrelevant to them or editing the original message (preserving it still) and adding a simple reason its not relevant anymore and that you can move on. The person's curiosity is fullfilled, you kind of ended the topic right there and no further engagement is needed #entertainment
