Situation: Someone makes a post asking a question. I spend time answering it. Then the post is deleted.
I can no longer access the post and therefore can not find the author to block them.
What I do have is a link to an empty page.
How do I find the author?
This is pitiful
I guess if your median reply is 20 words long, yeah, it would seem pitiful. But some people actually put effort into their conversations.
A would never block someone deciding to remove his post. It is pitiful to do it
It doesn’t matter, they are asking a technical question and you are replying with a moral thing to do…
That’s your opinion
Never? Interesting.
For deleting a post yes never
Well, I didn’t want to block them JUST for deleting the post, but for deleting two posts of the same subject, and also they seemed to be wanting to gripe about wokeness, but just looking for a way to do it that wouldn’t be noticeable–all-in-all, somebody that would probably post a question that would get a lengthy reply from me that would be rejected when I hit send because the post would be gone. So I think it’s reasonable to block them to prevent that from happening.
I understand deleting posts, I’ve done it myself, but someone who does it habitually while posting bait…
You are actively taking time out of your day to block a person who didn’t stick around long enough to hear you out
You need to go outside and touch grass. Get a girlfriend or boyfriend, those are fun too
Some instances are slow handling deletions or don’t honour them at all….
How horrible. Which ones?
I would either copy the name into your reply OR open the post in another tab that you keep open until your satisfied.
edit: wait a second… you’re not gonna delete this are you? /s
you’re not gonna delete this are you?
Can’t be deleted… Because it was never real
deleted by creator
blocked! lol
Excellent suggestion, ~~!Canaconda@lemmy.ca !
Hm… interesting. Did you know your userid doesn’t autopopulate?~~
! is for communities, @ is for users. Example: @schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works.
Oops. Thanks, @betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world!
