Every time I come back to a thread later - it’s gone. What gives? This is the only community on Lemmy or heck even on the internet in general where I’ve seen this, it’s so odd.

    Most frustrating thing is it doesn’t just delete the OP and hide the link but it nukes the entire thread and all replies.

    There was a great thread yesterday about music with tons of recommendations that I saved to look at later only to find that it was deleted this morning and everything’s gone. It’s such a waste. Why even participate if it’s just going to be deleted like this?

      I used to track authors who post delete and block them when I notice a trend for this very reason in a diff community. It sucks putting in effort to make a reply and then having the entire chain get nuked from orbit.

      I had a tech post that I put a bit of effort replying to get deleted after they had resolved the question, no reason for deletion just that they apperently don’t like having posts connected to their account. so once their problem was solved they deleted the post. Discouraging.
