Why did samcarter delete my post, simply because later other websites cross posted it?
I have rewritten this post in response to samcarter's answer.
I posted, and wrote myself, https://powerusers.codidact.com/posts/287106. At the time of posting, I was unaware of any cross post. samcarter linked to subsequent verbatim cross posts on Reddit and community.teamviewer.com, but failed to stress that these cross posts appeared AFTERWARDS. We should not groundlessly presume cross posting from OP, which samcarter appears to be doing unjustly. samcarter wrote
It is hardly fair to drag other users contribution down just because you want to x-post on several sites.
but can't find the solutions you might have gotten on one of the other platforms you posted x-posted your question.
samcarter's deletion appears unjust. Users here may not control whether later other websites cross post them, so original posts here ought not be deleted simply because later other websites cross post Codidact posts.
