There's also purge. It's a super-remove that will go through the database and delete every record the user ever existed. I use it sparingly, since the record of purging a user doesn't even appear in the modlog (no instance admin would ever abuse this power, right?). Can't log a purge because that user never existed. Even regular-level spam bots don't get the purge treatment.

I can purge comments, also. I've even done it once for a mod. I forget the circumstances of how we reached that point, something about a ban not removing content properly? It was probably hate-related in some form.

Edit: Just tracked that incident down. It was 9 months ago and the mod was... unionagainstdhmo! πŸ˜€
The situation was that someone had posted a racist comment that he'd performed a normal remove on. On the web, the comment was gone - but the mobile API was still showing it. That bug has since gone, but yeah it was a thing for a long time where comments removed still showed on the mobile apps.

I should create and kill a user account to experiment and answer this authoritatively. Given that unionagainstdhmo's posts and comments appear to have gone, while Baku's have not, I suspect there is an option to delete all your content when you delete your account.

That's a bug in the app(s). They're missing a basic feature of Lemmy. The developer(s) will likely correct it if you report it.

Absolutely a step too far. Which is why he was found guilty of assault.

He probably needed to intervene in some capacity however. Imagine if something had happened to unsupervised 6/7 year olds in his pool? It's nightmare fuel. Come home to find a drowned kid in your pool?

I see his frustration also, it sounds like this wasn't the first time neighborhood kids had snuck onto his property to use his pool. He really took it too far, though.

I took the kids last year, they enjoyed themselves. The food options were less than ideal, the lines and wait times were so bad that we walked a kilometer to the food precinct.

It obviously gets a lot better once the sun sets, so I don't suggest getting there too early. In fact, if we go again this year, we'll probably have an early dinner and drop down after.

Also: it's definitely on November 9. Not October.

I just copied a bunch of the links into a dropdown on the Perth/WA community. Is that what you meant? You can edit the sidebar to get syntax.

Keeping in mind that this is new to us, we're learning as it happens.
Deleting your account doesn't appear to actually delete your posts/comments. It appears to just kill your profile page, making it so you can't just go to /u/username and see your post/comment history. However you can still go past posts and see the previous user interaction.

Definitely not I. The whole point of giving you guys full control of your accounts is you can do this to your own account any time you like. I heard last week that we lost Baku, also. That one was sad, I was going to share a year's streak of my own (for running) after he shared a year of Duolingo. But, he was gone.

Maybe they'll be back one day?

Sigh It was meant to be in response to @melbaboutown but I guess you figured that. I haven't heard again, so no updates from this end.

It's frustrating to know I could get her online in 2 minutes flat if I were there, but that option is not available. It's often the way with remote tech support.

What is "cheap cheese" in Melbourne? In 2016, it was $10/kg for the cheap cheese. In Perth, you can reliably get cheese for $8.50/kg. It went up for a while last year to ~$10ish but has come back down recently to $8.50 again.

My theory is dairy goods in general are cheaper here because we have competing local companies.

Haven't most of the states privatised (or commercialised) their Land Registries/Stamp Duty processes? How could this work if they have 50-year contracts with private businesses who are taking the proceeds of Stamp Duty transactions?

 

I picked up a couple of pairs of jeans at the end of year sales.

I paid $20 for one pair, down from $110. Does anyone actually pay that $110? That sounds insane to me.

 

It sounds like he already has the world record, he just needs to prove it.

Summer is early this year.

 

Imagine being the engineers in the middle of this. It's one thing that your incident is so bad it makes the news, it's another entirely when it is so bad the CEO resigns.

 

So it turns out that the cause was indeed a rogue change they couldn't roll back as we had been speculating.

Weird that whatever this issue is didn't occur in their test environment before they deployed into Production. I wonder why that is.

 

They literally had the chance to make a 'Man bites Croc' headline, but somehow resisted.
