Comment on Why do so many people delete their posts?

Usually (but not always) if a mod removes it, it shows up in the mod log.

But lots of people don’t get the answer they want and delete it. Part of that is you can’t disable replies. A month from now someone might see this post for whatever reason and you’d get a notification.

That’s probably playing into it

A month I can kind of understand. I let mastodon auto delete my month old posts. But a few days? I don’t know…
But you’re right, it could be that they didn’t like the answers they got. That does make the most sense. Like that kid who’s dating that Muslim girl, and pretty much all of the reactions sided with her point of view.

Or they do get the answer they want and now they don’t need to get anymore answers.

  I’d then update the post thanking every one for the answers provided, and that you don’t need any more.

    For them spaces on the internet are just a question and answer machine - why would they thank us NPCs?

    Fair assessment. Thank you, fellow NPC :)
