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?


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
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!
Can’t be deleted… Because it was never real
deleted by creator
blocked! lol
