Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

Edit: Mod responded in a comment to the post, seems like the rules allow for discussion of bugs here and the removal was seemingly in error. What I said still applies to a lot of places in online Linux communities though so I'll leave it up, glad to see that KDE community stands up for its values.
~~Yeah I agree with this method. It's a way of avoiding wasting developer time by just seeing if it's something nice and simple first. Annoys me when I see so many posts get removed all across forums accusing it of being a bug report when most of the time it's just a simple question with good intentions of not wasting their time, which upon removal creates a bug report that ironically is a waste of their time in most cases, since it's usually a support request, not a bug.~~
~~Stuff like this is what pushes people away from the Linux communities and makes people feel unwelcomed. No intent of spiting admin decisions of course, but there's a reason Linux is perceived as hostile, even if people don't intend it as such.~~
~~What I said might be considered controversial, but I stand by it full-heartedly.~~
