Monday31 messages5 participantstimes are UTC
Highlights from this day
  • quiet.hours — the duplicate timestamps are real, two people typing in the same minute get the same stamp 11:22
  • quiet.hours — nobody edits a day after it closes except to apply a redaction, thats why the typos are all still there 12:33
  • triple_ag_tom — whole day redactions have happened twice and both were at member request the redaction marker links to the policy page so nobody has to guess what happened 12:37
  • yyz_vial — a redaction replaces the line and keeps its position so the conversation still reads, thats one data point 14:57
  • quiet.hours — coming back to this exports are one file per channel per day because thats the shape the logger writes 14:59

a redacted line cant be restored, thats intentional, otherwise the request means nothing

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

TA

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

nobody edits a day after it closes except to apply a redaction, thats why the typos are all still there

mine shifted too

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

12:36quiet.hours pinned a message to this channel

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

ah, timezone thing

📉9🙏1

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

LL

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

are the timestamps local or UTC, my day looks shifted

LL

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

LL

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

YV

it once removed a line about a bus route because it read like a handle, thats just me

day is just gone

QH

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

QH

why does a conversation i remember on a tuesday show up on the monday

can i get an export of just my own lines

VI

does the logging pass run once a day or continuously
