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?

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 2 points 1 month ago

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 :)

Your answer was really good! But yeah, he deleted that post.

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?

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 3 points 1 month ago

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

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.

I agree. It's annoying and selfish. I often go back to older threads I've participated in to see other people's points of view, to see if maybe I missed something. But to then see "permanently deleted" or words of that effect, that's just sad. I can't learn from those. No one can.
