When I delete a post on Lemmy, people can still see that there used to be a comment by me that I later deleted. What’s the reasoning for that?
1 make post with question
2 get answer
3 delete question
The people from step 2 are getting tired of answering the same question that could have been answered if the original question was still up. What part of crowdsourced answer screams private question?

What’s the harm if you leave it up? I would rather see graffiti on a building than the sandblasted outline of where the graffiti was.
