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.

Uncheck "Send notifications to Email" in your settings. Or get a 3rd party app with a notifications setting.

If it's easier to delete the post guess what people will do.

Do something once? Ew.

Do something infinitely? 🥵💦

sounds logical, the biggest logical, even

How is it easier to delete a post every time than to set preferences to not be emailed just once, then you never have to again?

[-] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 5 points 14 hours ago

How do I do that for just that post? And how do I ignore replies for that post so I didn't get any other notices?

[-] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 hours ago

if you don't want replies, just don't post. everyone will be better off than if you are deleting posts. actually it's the easiest thing to do.

that being said. are you guilty of deleting your posts after they had discussions? because if so, I'll just block you because you are taking away value from the community, not adding to it

Somebody may want an answer and once they get it don't want the other replies to keep notifying them.

No I don't do this. But it's remarkable that all the lemmykins arguing with me and down-voting me simply can't see things from another person's pov.

Why don't you like getting replies? That's the fun part!

[-] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago

I see you've opted to just redefine somebody's requirements rather than solve their problem.

[-] TheTetrapod@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

Honestly, it's my favorite argument tactic.
