I have noticed this is occuring more and more. It is a problem that started to crop up on reddit but now I’m seeing here more often. Do you not want other people to benefit from the answers you received? This community is kind of pointless if you just get an answer and wipe it from the web.
Depending on the question,people do not want people they personally know to identify them.
Shouldn’t be asking on the fediverse at all, even if you delete a post there is zero presumption of privacy on the fediverse. It’s not at all designed for that.
I don’t disagree. But some people see it that way.
