I have noticed this is occuring more and more. It is a problem that started to crop up on reddit but now I’m seeing here more often. Do you not want other people to benefit from the answers you received? This community is kind of pointless if you just get an answer and wipe it from the web.
You must log in or # to comment.
Had my post removed for “off topic” in self hosting because it was about open wrt and they claimed it was a hardware question when in fact open wrt is software.
I hate communities that are hyper strict about pointless things about that. The post volume is rarely enough to justify that level of filtering. Besides, hardware is definitely related to self hosting.
Even if it was hardware related, I usually see plenty of posts asking about hardware options from that comm anyway and those get to stay up… 🤨

When you find them, go check the user’s other posts and comments.
I find that often, they have deleted all their content and sometimes even their account. This is especially the case in Reddit where people seem to have gotten enough
I wipe all posts from every account that gets banned.
Just out of spite usually.
yep. if you don’t want me here because I said “I’m surprised more nazis aren’t getting jumped tbh” because it “glorifies violence”, fine, I’ll go, and I’ll take all my positive contributions with me
I’ve lost a lot of good stuff on my old reddit account. some of it just crap, but some of it was rather well appreciated stuff. and now it’s just another thread of <deleted>
Reddit was trying to sell your questions and replies. Many people, including myself, said fuck that and mass changed or deleted our data/comments.
Fine for reddit, but please don’t do that on Lemmy, it works different over here, we don’t have one single CEO that decides to fuck over all the users.
Edit: I deleted 10 years of History with over 100.000 comments. Fuck Reddit

I didn’t delete it, the mods apparently didnt like the answer (or question) and ‘shadow’ deleted it? I wasnt given a reason for its deletion.
I did it because I never got an actual helpful answer anyway. I couldn’t disable replies and people kept responding with either the same thing or blatantly wrong/unhelpful answers and I was tired of being bothered by it.
Yeah, not being able to disable replies is very annoying on Lemmy. Would be a great feature to add.
Piefed has it
