This has become a chronic issue with Lemmy and its starting to feel like it’s a waste of time to answer questions.
I don’t get it. why are they deleting their posts?
It’s just another type of advertising to them. Ask a question trying to solve a problem, then use your alt account to shill your own solution.
Doesn’t work that way on lemmy: if they delete the post, then the alt’s shilling disappears, too.
I don’t get it either, but it was also a big problem on Reddit for years.
On Reddit especially, it usually was people asking a question, then having their alt account respond with whatever they were trying to shill, and just doing that over and over again.
Because the moderators will ban them if they don’t.
