As a regular contributor to discussion across a wide spectrum of Lemmy (and other fediverse) communities, I’ve come to see some people who will submit a post, get replies and then delete that post.

While I understand that this is a feature of the platform, in my opinion, it’s extremely disrespectful to anyone who took the time to provide a considered, or otherwise, response.

While we’re building a global community, is there any appetite to discourage such behaviour, or are we okay with this experience?

One idea might be to update the platform to “zombie” a post when its author deletes it, leaving it exactly where it is, but removing the author.

Anyone?

      Lol, exactly.

      And for a completely unasked for ramble: Someone better call the cops because my wife is over a decade older than me. Causes some minor mess here and there in the relationship, but nothing major. Almost every relationship worth having will have some mess now and then.
