Never used the app, never plan to, but I can’t even handle the main site now. Have (diagnosed) PTSD due to religious trauma, and those fucking unblockable “He Gets Us” ads are intolerable.

Right? Completely disregarding the fact that all content is user generated and moderated by volunteers. I raged when I saw that statement.

Yup, I usually download a snapshot every year or so. It’s more because I feel ways about digital archival, but it’s super convenient to be able to access that information offline as well.

I don’t know why your approach didn’t occur to me but that’s a great idea. Deleting all my content would pain me both as someone who has been able to help people with my posts and as a digital anthropologist, but making it known why I’m no longer engaging with the platform while preserving that content is a good balance between disengaging and purging.

Does it only log usernames, or does it record ip addresses as well? I am much more okay with one than the other.

It seems these multi-posts are typically coming from a user getting an error message when their post actually goes through, then they try posting again.

After I learned about that I’ve been bookmarking comments I want to reply to, copy my intended post in another document, then check later to see if what I wrote was actually posted. If yes, yay, don’t have to worry about multiposting. If no, I just post once the server isn’t being weird.
