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.

    I did it because I never got an actual helpful answer anyway. I couldn’t disable replies and people kept responding with either the same thing or blatantly wrong/unhelpful answers and I was tired of being bothered by it.

      I had something similar in the past.

      My solution was to report my own post and ask the mod to lock the replies which they thankfully did.

      No idea why there isnt a way for me to do it to my own post though.

      Yeah, not being able to disable replies is very annoying on Lemmy. Would be a great feature to add.
