Highlights from this day
  • tokyo_taper — if you quote a date from here say UTC, the regional channels have had real confusion about it 11:36
  • pinch_not_stretch — it says a day is unavailable and deliberately doesnt say which reason, because that would leak a redaction, your mileage will differ 12:02
  • tokyo_taper — does an edit after a day closes show differently to one made in the minute 12:24
  • tokyo_taper — leaving doesnt unpublish anything automatically, but a request from someone whos left is treated the same it once removed a line about a bus route because it read… 13:18

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

the redaction marker links to the policy page so nobody has to guess what happened, i could be wrong

TT

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

AA

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

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

does a redaction remove the whole day or only the line

marker not deleted

TT

quiet channels genuinely have empty days and empty pages dont get published

does an edit after a day closes show differently to one made in the minute

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

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

it once removed a line about a bus route because it read like a handle

why is everything in UTC when nearly nobody here is

DE

a redaction replaces the line and keeps its position so the conversation still reads

does renaming a channel break links to the old days

AA

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

can i get an export of just my own lines

UTC, always

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