there is no window on a redaction request, any published line at any time

is there a reason 1 months of one channel just isnt there
a redacted line cant be restored, thats intentional, otherwise the request means nothing

DT

the automated pass eats emails, phone numbers and anything that looks like a handle, and its aggressive

a redacted line cant be restored, thats intentional, otherwise the request means nothing, ask me again in a month

TT

the edited marker means the line was changed inside the same day, before the day sealed, ill dig out the number

policy page covers it

the redaction marker links to the policy page so nobody has to guess what happened

a day seals at 00:00 UTC and after that only a redaction touches it

VI

my first anchor is a day after my join because i joined and said nothing until the next evening

TT

coming back to this a redaction replaces the line and keeps its position so the conversation still reads

reply quotes survive a redaction, you see the shape of the conversation with a hole in it

DT

for the archive asked for an export of my own lines and got it, a plain text bundle split by day

ST

any idea why my first message anchor is a day after i joined

how far back can a redaction request go

💀9

exports are one file per channel per day because thats the shape the logger writes

mine shifted too

why does the export come out as one file per channel per day

Reminder for fake_tracking: dose day is today. Set 6 days ago.

the timestamp confusion is the most asked thing in here and ive answered it every year since 2024

still confuses me

thats the seal

NA

UTC always, no seasonal adjustment, which is why evenings in australia land on the previous date

can a redacted line be restored if i change my mind
