Please don’t expect the community to give you answers to your questions which you then delete right afterwards. Those of us who put time into answering your questions are not doing so just to serve your personal needs, we are here to help build a community knowledge base that others can search and reference.
This has become a chronic issue with Lemmy and its starting to feel like it’s a waste of time to answer questions.
How can you build a collective knowledge base when you delete your post after receiving an answer? I seriously don’t understand why people do that, either. No one knows/cares who you are and there is no reason to feel ashamed for not knowing how something works.
tbh, I care to know those who are deleting their posts
I will say I am making the assumption that these are actual people and not bot accounts. Even if they were bots, why even bother removing the posts? It’s not like it is somehow detrimental to what they are doing.
I think it could still be bots. like an automated campaign to make tensions in the fedi communities. probably unlikely though.
I was curious if it was some AI tool that asks the question, collects the answers, then removes itself.
This is actually an interesting idea for automation. Tracking users based on self-topic deletion within a community would be worth having.
