I don't think it's harsh at all. All software has bugs, and every UI has some rough edges, but data loss is one of those things that can't be tolerated, ever.

It both destroys trust and infuriates like nothing else. When I hit “publish” a lock icon appeared on the post in question, then it disappeared. Like a slow motion car crash.

That is so harsh, you are leaving no room for human error. Yet at the same time, I applaud you for having such high standards. Why not? This is the internet, this is competition at its most basic level. Please continue to hold these high standards. We should never settle for anything less.
