Situation: Someone makes a post asking a question. I spend time answering it. Then the post is deleted.
I can no longer access the post and therefore can not find the author to block them.
What I do have is a link to an empty page.
How do I find the author?
Social media is ideally meant to be ephemeral, like a conversation you have over a gaming table. We should rather get used to things disappearing. If I wasn’t so lazy, all my comments would expire like they used to on the mothersite.
