Please don't expect the community to give you answers to your questions which you then delete right afterwards. Those of us who put time into answering your questions are not doing so just to serve your personal needs, we are here to help build a community knowledge base that others can search and reference.

This has become a chronic issue with Lemmy and its starting to feel like it's a waste of time to answer questions.

You used "I" a lot in that response! You seem to think you have the best idea of what everybody else would find valuable.

What is actually true is stupid, pointless, simple and obvious questions being posted and responded to means other people don't need to post the same question again.

you can rest assured I know the difference; it was completely useless, I didn't go "problem solved, let's nuke the fucker". I had posts that received a barrage of downvotes and I let 'em be. had posts where the conclusion differed from what was originally intended and I'd let them be as there was value in the resolution. this was none of them things, no chance anyone would find this useful.

So you found it useful but no one else well. Ok.

Dude you can't know what I may find useful. Like you literally cannot, even if your IQ is 300, you have zero data on what I need and would find useful.

It doesn't matter how incredibly smart you are, you can't know what strangers on the internet need or want.
