the timestamp confusion is the most asked thing in here and ive answered it every year since 2024, i could be wrong
unrelated but i asked for two lines out and it took about 19 days with no questions asked, i could be wrong

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

the totals count published days only, so a missing day doesnt inflate the volume figures
typos are load bearing
reply quotes survive a redaction, you see the shape of the conversation with a hole in it

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

export came through
one file per day
if you quote a date from here say UTC, the regional channels have had real confusion about it, ill dig out the number
UTC, always
are reply quotes preserved if the quoted line got redacted

nobody edits a day after it closes except to apply a redaction, thats why the typos are all still there
no reason needed
unrelated but the duplicate timestamps are real, two people typing in the same minute get the same stamp
is a day sealed at midnight UTC or at some other point
