  • Typos definitely can be a reason.

  • Lets see if I can still comment on your deleted post though :)

  • Fair assessment. Thank you, fellow NPC :)

    • Why do low framerates feel so much worse on modern video games?

  • Ah yes, why didn't I consider that? That's indeed very much a possibility.

  • I recognize that strategy. I'd be typing out an entire epistle, only to delete it all in the end, because I figure I wouldn't add anything to the discussion, or I don't feel good enough to comment on something :)

  • It's that quick for you? I either immediately cringe, or it takes years to fester in my brain and then suddenly it's my brain tripping me up with "remember that stupid comment you made to this person years ago? CRINGE! CRINGE FOR ME, MINION!"

  • That makes sense for comments, but what about posts to a community?

  • A bot post is another possibility indeed. I hadn't considered that.

  • I realized that after I posted it, and edited it afterwards, but you're absolutely right, when I typed it, it already felt wrong :)

  • No worries, mate! I should've been more precise in my wording.

  • Makes sense for comments, but for posts to for instance this Sub-lemmy, I mean community?

  • Can't reply to Some Amateur's removed comment, just want to say, I enjoyed your contribution! And that could indeed also be a valid reason

    • Why do I drag my feet when it's time to start a new task even if I know I'll enjoy it once I get started?

  • Do you perhaps fear failure? That you might do it incorrectly?

    That's a bit what's stopping me often from starting something new.

  • I'd then update the post thanking every one for the answers provided, and that you don't need any more.

    Yeah that would be a great joke on my part, too. Getting my answers and just deleting the question in a day or so.

    I'm not intending on doing that though. So, if it does happen, it's not because of something that I did.

  • A month I can kind of understand. I let mastodon auto delete my month old posts. But a few days? I don't know...
    But you're right, it could be that they didn't like the answers they got. That does make the most sense. Like that kid who's dating that Muslim girl, and pretty much all of the reactions sided with her point of view.
