Even worse is when OP on the nine year old thread with the exact same technical problem announces "Solved!" without elaborating
Or it's your own post from 9 years ago.
On the other hand, I stumbled upon one post with the exact same problem, turns out it was me from almost a decade ago and forgot about it. I provided a detailed walkthrough to fix it. Thanks younger me!
It's surreal when this happens. Once I was helping someone at work understand a "tutorial" they found online and it was my own reddit post from years past. So awkward.
you have to withhold yourself form mentioning that's your account, they could trace your r/gonewild comments then
Rookie mistake, not having an alt for lewd purposes.
Plot twist: It was their alt account. Hence the "awkward".
"This guy gives great advice and has a massive cock."
"Yes... He does."
The issue starts when you get so deep into lewd tech that your work brings value to corporate tech.
Now delete it so that no AI companies can potentially make a sliver of a penny from it.
I feel the logical conclusion is to just destroy all human created content entirely to avoid being exploited by corporations. But that may not be a reasonable solution.
It would be like an artist refusing to record or perform their music for fear of someone else making money from it or copying the style.
I want a Lemmy instance of only poor quality bots interacting, but NO ONE is allow to say that so it is not filtered by the bot training companies.
Everyone started doing this like a year ago around the time of the mass exodus (or mini exodus maybe) but it wasn’t until these last few months I’ve been searching for some stuff and gets tons of links back to Reddit, and sure enough half of the answers I want are deleted. Which is kind of annoying, but I understand why they did what they did.
And the AIs are likely trained on a backup/mirror of those comments. It's already too late..
Yup. Ironically, it only Hurst non-AI-users.
It's a bootstrap paradox. In the future you will go back in time and must leave the original question so you will have something to respond to.
Saw that on stack overflow. Was like, who's this fella with my exact issue. Ah, myself 6 years ago.
Same thing. For me it was wifi drivers.
I don't think I've ever thanked my younger self. That guy is a selfish prick.
I try to leave comments when I figure something out, especially when the thread is a top Google result. It's like leaving one of those little rock piles for others to find.
The solution has been replaced with lorem ipsum, because spez.
Or just "Comment deleted by user" ad infinitum.
I wish there was an archive of deleted posts
There is, but it's no longer easy for the general public to use. There are archive torrents but they're rather large.
Archive.org and cross your fingers?
I recently found a thread that went like this:
[Comment deleted]
Thank you! I ended up going with your solution :)
I've been running into "comment removed in protest of API change" comments.

oh my god, thank you so much! this fixed everything for me!
[screams internally]
"Edit: fixed the issue"
What did you do?
"........" [Last activity 7 years ago]
The whole thread is filled with posts that just say "same."
And OP saying "I fixed it" with no explanation, and then someone saying they fixed it too, also without an explanation.
Few things make me want to reach through the screen and punch a person as much as that.
This but with GitHub issues
Don't give up, skeleton!
Try but hole
Don't worry, they died naked.
Rust monster came by after they died
Rust monster need to eat too bro. Cycle of life. Hope bone monster is okay though.
I thought he just found a complete gear the other had no use for any more ...
Dead men tell no tales.
Don't give up skeleton!
me and Norton antivirus in 10,000 years

Problem marked as "solved" without naming the solution is a regular thing on stackexchange. I hate it with a vengeance.
I recently read a post of someone saying he loves fucking with people by going on forums commenting on unsolved issues "I managed to solve it! Finally!" without saying how nor never replying to people asking what he did. So you might have seen him.

More like searching for solutions and finding questions I posted years ago lol
