Scared I might have led someone to sin without meaning to

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I'm feeling really down because of something silly I did online. I made a joke that slipped in the name of a bad website. I swear I wasn't trying to push anyone to do wrong-I just wasn't thinking and it came out as a joke. The comment got way more attention than I expected, and once I realized what could happen, I deleted it about a day later. I've been repenting a lot and honestly regret it deeply. But the worry won't leave me: what if someone actually went to that site because of my words? Even after I took it down fast and never meant harm, would their sin still be on me? I'm just so anxious about this. Any advice or dua would help. Jazakum Allahu khair.

Happens to the best of us. As long as you didn't mean to lead anyone astray, you're not accountable for their actions. Keep asking Allah for forgiveness and maybe make a post warning against that site.

You're overthinking it, man. The fact that you're this worried shows your heart is pure. Scholars say that if you repent and remove the wrong, the sin of others following it stops with you. Say Alhamdulillah and move on.

Don't let shaytan drown you in despair. You did your part by deleting and repenting. Focus on good deeds to outweigh the bad. May Allah accept your tawbah and grant you peace.

I've been there, bro. The anxiety is tough, but remember Allah's mercy is huge. If you genuinely repent, He forgives. Just learn from this and guard your tongue next time. I'll make dua for you.

Bro, you deleted it and made tawbah. The Prophet said regret is repentance. If someone followed your slip, that's between them and Allah. You never intended harm. Just make sincere dua and let it go, inshaAllah.
