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

🙏18⚠️8

can i get an export of just my own lines

the timestamp confusion is the most asked thing in here and ive answered it every year since 2024, anyway
an edit inside the first minute is silent, after that it marks, which catches people out

OO

whats the difference between a missing day and an empty day

export came through

MC

does the automated pass strip anything besides links and emails

VV

the mental health channel gets the lowest bar for redaction and thats the right call

VV

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

VV

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

it says a day is unavailable and deliberately doesnt say which reason, because that would leak a redaction, your mileage will differ

why is everything in UTC when nearly nobody here is

the duplicate timestamps are real, two people typing in the same minute get the same stamp

while im here renames keep the old paths working, i checked a 2024 day after the last one
a redacted line cant be restored, thats intentional, otherwise the request means nothing

ok so my first anchor is a day after my join because i joined and said nothing until the next evening, for what its worth

VV

one timezone one date forever is the least confusing option available and it still confuses everybody

there were two multi day logging failures, one in 2024 and one in 2025, those days are just gone

an edit inside the first minute is silent, after that it marks, which catches people out

VV

i asked for two lines out and it took about 18 days with no questions asked

LO

the edited marker means the line was changed inside the same day, before the day sealed

LO

are reply quotes preserved if the quoted line got redacted

do i have to give a reason for a redaction

still confuses me

MC

you ask and it goes. you dont have to give a reason and you wont be asked for one
