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.

Someone may have the same question in the future and there will be answers.

With 8.4 billion people on this planet, I can't be the only one asking the question.

and if everyone who asks that question has that mindset then we end up with no answers longterm.

its annoying to scroll through 15 threads asking the same thing looking for an answer, but its infinitely worse to find no threads related to what you're trying to do.

[–] irmadlad@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Exactly.

That kind of thinking is too advanced for the general populace
