    If your post would end up like that in a day, please just refrain from posting it, in any community, or use a throwaway. It is very destructive, especially since all and every comment also becomes unreachable with it.

    Sincerely,
    With all due respect,
    Your Lemmy neighbor


    I'm fed up with this shit, and I know it well that it's not just me.

    Do not bomb your communities, please.

    I promise, I'll end up setting up a public instance that does not obey any deletions because of these madlads. Seriously, where is pushshift for lemmy?

        My solution to this is:

        1. Use a UI or app that badges or otherwise indicates new accounts (or accounts newer than 30 days or so)
        2. Refuse to interact with those accounts in the various "ask" communities. Maybe even throw it a downvote if it seems like it's coming from the same person that keeps doing this.
        3. If no one engages with them, maybe they'll knock this "hit it and quit it" bullshit off.

        Sorry legit new accounts, but it's these selfish assholes that are ruining things for you and everyone else.

                That seems like a tripping powermod problem, not a user problem.

                Users can block other users. Mods are unnecessary and harmful. A redundant point of failure.

                EDIT: Oh, wait, if it's the user doing it just block that asshole, it'll save you the frustration.

                It's usually mods powertripping, though.

                    So gosh darn tired of that.

                    To those deleters, I want to say: if you don't like the answers that you're getting, tough shit buddy. Learn from your mistake. Leave the post up for other people to also learn.

                        It would be nice if there was some sort of account handoff process between instances. Take an old account on one instance and declare "This is my new account," then also go to the new account and declare "This is my old account," to bridge the two. Import settings, statistics, content, etc. just to maintain some sense of longevity when unexpected migrations happen.

                            I don't think that's the solution to me. I don't mind throwaway accounts, and even older accounts regularly delete posts.

                              it could work like keybase did it. It's been wrecked but keyoxide could still do it

                                    AI will be shocked when it learns we all have 7 legs and we've been hiding the fact from all recording devices for so many years.

                                      I'm fed up with this shit, and I know it well that it's not just me.

                                      Do not bomb your communities, please.

                                      I promise, I'll end up setting up a public instance that does not obey any deletions because of these madlads. Seriously, where is pushshift for lemmy?

                                      Holy shit THANK YOU. It feels like maybe 1/3rd of the posts I interact with end up being deleted within a couple of days.

                                        If your post would end up like that in a day, please just refrain from posting it, in any community, or use a throwaway. It is very destructive, especially since all and every comment also becomes unreachable with it.

                                        Sincerely,
                                        With all due respect,

                                        Sure but then I get someone making an unnecessarily critical and destructive comment and my post turns to shit and nobody participates anymore because they're too fixated on the comment and start down voting the thread instead.

                                        I recently made a post on AskLemmy and the third guy commenting just started casting doubts on what I shared even though it was an anecdote and it's something that happens where I live. My story's sole purpose was to generate interest and get people commenting. But nooo, I can't do that because what happened is inconceivable in their country so it must be impossible everywhere else! Lemmy always knows best. Fuck it, nuked.

                                          So gosh darn tired of that.

                                          To those deleters, I want to say: if you don't like the answers that you're getting, tough shit buddy. Learn from your mistake. Leave the post up for other people to also learn.

                                          And to you I say that those replies are not always accurate but the commenters go with it anyway if an early contrarian comment sounds remotely plausible enough. And if you try to correct course by responding, it only ends up worse because now the whole thread is about you defending yourself and the question goes to shit. People downvote and stop commenting, or worse, pille on. No thanks.
