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.

What the hell is the purpose?

I think some people are being a bit of privacy freaks, so they don't want to leave their data online. I still think its stupid tho cuz Ive posted questions, get a good response but forget after a while. Then when I do go back to remind myself, its deleted.

It's probably that. I get it. But it still undermines the good will of the community. I'm tempted to delete my original comment for the gag.

Wondering the same thing, maybe they think the information about their private server and network setups will be used against them?

I think I should start checking if a poster has a history of regularly deleting posts/comments, before trying to give a useful answer.
