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.

I mean; the mechanics ensure that it kinda is. Are these good mechanics?

This is a major 'upside' to centrally controlled spaces, they are tricky to exploit in several ways. I don't think that maintaining a open community with both:

Easy exploits;
Social norms against using them;

is effective.

Either the exploitation is a feature that we accept, or we should rework the feature. Behavior is downstream of systems. How should we change the delete-post system?
