    If this link which took me 7 minutes to code, test and deploy gets more upvotes than other recent features that I spent a week on i might reconsider my life choices.

      Sometimes complex things don’t get appreciated enough.

      On the other hand, I can tell you that when you’ll add the emoji menu to the text editor, that feature will also get at least 50 upvotes.

      If I might voice something that I’ve noticed: your posts about new features tend to be written in a insider-y way. When I read them, I often have to take a moment to think “what does that mean?”

      This post here is very simplistic in its wording and has a screenshot to show what it is talking about. That makes it way easier to understand and therefore more people might upvote it quickly and mot engage longer.

    Seems like a solid idea and feature in my opinion as it eases the ability for anyone to prevent/call out ill-behaved fellow users, mods, and admins👍

    • sort of like how open-source project revisions are publicly accessible

    Edit:

    posts older than 168 days will be removed.

    I’m sorry what? but why?

      An instance admin is able to set a retention time for a community on their server. It doesn’t delete the content from the remote instance, just the local, federated copy. It’s done on a community by community basis and the default is to not delete. The retention times on piefed.social are managed by rimu, and he’s not what you would call a meme-er(?), so they aren’t too long for meme-y(?) communities.

        if that also deletes the images, I could see how that would save a ton of storage space to delete memes after they get old, and if it’s like Mastodon I think it only deletes the ones that come from remote instances

          Yes it deletes the images, to save space.

          There are a lot of communities that have content which is amusing for a moment but which have no lasting value so I see no reason to keep paying to store it forever.

            Totally fair! That would definitely make a huge difference in server costs, and I’ve seen the same thing used effectively on Mastodon
