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.

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.

the first answer is often not the best one
don't take away the discussion from others

I'm sure we can see that point of view, we just refuse it because it's such a mean pov

I mean... I don't disagree but you're arguing against somebody who is not here. I honestly don't know what you expect in response. If you want people to behave a certain way you can either:

a) Say they're stupid and change nothing and continue to bitch about the problem or

b) Understand why they're doing what they do and try to address it.
