I’ve seen this happen a bunch of time now that people just ask a question and it’s deleted a day or so later. Do they delete the question themselves, or is that some automatic thing? If they do it themselves, why?

*edit*

Thanks for the great answers so far. Very insightful. Please keep them coming, I’m curious to more points of view.

    I’m the dev of Tesseract.

    New accounts have badges that show their age if they’re between 0 and 30 days old (among other tricks up my sleeve)

      Ah I saw that In your account, it took me two minutes to load it up because of my shitty internet and partly the connect client so I was sure there’s no way you would check each time.

      I wish I could do site wide badges for stuff like that but at the end of the day I only ever recognise the one person who give me the shits on lemmy and I have them flagged haha.

      Everyone else I figure is out with good intentions until they prove otherwise

        Unrelated to the thread, but love your username (took me a minute to get it)

        Also, yeah, love the “good intentions until proven otherwise” attitude. Two years here have nearly beaten that out of me (despite me knowing better).
