  On reddit if a post was deleted I could still interact with the thread, even if the content of the post itself was gone.

  So it was a bit more elegant, imho, as it allows continued discussion and being able to link to the thread without it being completely nuked.

  I also think that set expectations for how people expected it to work here, where the post contents and author would be nuked but the thread could still be accessed by hotlink.

  These would have to be added to Lemmy development, because currently I can delete a post of my own on a community on another instance and there isn’t a technical way to prevent it. Reporting and banning for behavior is tricky too unless you manage to remember the username of who posted it.

  So, that’s an uphill battle at the development level and the moderation level.

  How is it easier to delete a post every time than to set preferences to not be emailed just once, then you never have to again?

  I think the mods/admins would have more accurate info on how often it’s happening.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This community isn't your personal adviser⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t make sense, either. There’s no rational reason to delete a thread after the question has been answered.

  Even if it wasn’t actually a person but was an AI agent asking questions so it can scrape the data from the answers, there’s no real utility in deleting the posts after receiving responses. It just seems so weird.

  Security through obscurity isn’t security.

  There goes my excuse for not giving up and just paying for Unraid.

  I don’t think we are the target audience for those, though, as weird as that sounds. More likely intended to be sold to less tech savvy people who are willing to pay for the convenience of some company handling their security.

  That’s the way to do it, smart planning. I’m glad you were able to make it happen even if it set you back more than you had hoped.

  I only wish I had money to get in before prices bump up. 😭

  Being poor sucks.

  sweet tea is so much better at the local joints and usually cleaner and way fresher like the food

  I can get fresh squeezed limeade at my local mexican corner store/tortilla shop and it’s so fucking good.
