@unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone’s comments were deleted in a thread I was just looking at, and I went onto their profile and it also appears to have been deleted? Anyone have any knowledge about them? It’s sad if we’ve lost such a long-time excellent member of this community.
No idea, would assume they’ve deleted their account for some reason. I’ve certainly not taken any action, and am certain @Nath@aussie.zone hasn’t either.
Definitely not I. The whole point of giving you guys full control of your accounts is you can do this to your own account any time you like. I heard last week that we lost Baku, also. That one was sad, I was going to share a year’s streak of my own (for running) after he shared a year of Duolingo. But, he was gone.
Maybe they’ll be back one day?
Oh no. That’s sad too!
I do wish that deleting your account didn’t automatically delete all of your posts & comments on Lemmy. It’s one thing for that to be an option people can have if they want, but I doubt most users deleting their accounts are doing so because they want to clear out everything they’ve ever said.
Keeping in mind that this is new to us, we’re learning as it happens.
Deleting your account doesn’t appear to actually delete your posts/comments. It appears to just kill your profile page, making it so you can’t just go to /u/username and see your post/comment history. However you can still go past posts and see the previous user interaction.
Their comments in this thread are what made me notice it. Maybe they did actually deliberately choose to delete those, but I thought it seemed unlikely to be that, in context.
I’m dealing with a similar issue on !environment@aussie.zone . I didn’t think ahead to copy those two stickied posts containing all the source links at the top of the page.
Now it seems i’ve lost them? Its a shame to lose all that useful work u/treevan and u/bandhmo did. I’ve started pulling together a number of links to recreate something similar, but i know i won’t capture the vast plethora of resources they’d gathered.
Gorgritch: I still have the links stored away. I’ll try a code block if no one minds me messing up the thread?
Hooli dooli, Treevans on Mastodon! Hi, good to see ya!
Okay, this is great news! I’ve just been trying to understand what code blocking is. I’m not sure I understand it, but as long as the admins are fine with it, I definitely don’t mind the thread getting a little messy (temporarily?) to sort this.
@Gorgritch_umie_killa I just meant that we should do this in DM or an email or something. There is a character limit here too so I’ll try in sections.
