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.
Their comments in this thread are what made me notice it. Maybe they did actually deliberately choose to delete those, but I thought it seemed unlikely to be that, in context.
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.
@nath @Zagorath I read 30 days. Mine took 30 days to delete from other instances, instantly from the home instance. One instance they reappeared and I contacted the Administrator to have them removed.
He said it was a bit of a fuck around to delete them from the database and it appears I was banned from server, not that I quit.
My other account on beehaw haven't gone at all but that is running a different version.
Oh, I'm glad I left this thread open to come back to later! Otherwise I wouldn't have seen that Treevan still lives! Hope you're doing well. Your contributions around here are sadly missed.
Hi Zagorath. I'm doing fine, the usual etc. I do hope that you're OK too. I'm still around and still reading occasionally, I didn't leave for mental health reasons or anything like that, I left because I was getting downvoted for opinions about my employment/passion and I figured "fuck everyone then" because while I understand the downvotes don't mean much, they mean that my opinion wasn't required or needed in the conversation. Funnily enough, it was Baku that pushed me over the edge and I see that they're gone too. Yeesh.
I hope you enjoyed the election. Maybe not who won but your work with it. Keep up with writing your opinions, they're worth reading.
Ha, yeah it's always fun work. And even the result was pleasantly surprising in some ways, considering 4 weeks ago we were expecting a total wipe-out for Labor.
I hope you're finding the Aussie Mastodon community more to your liking and more enjoyable, but also I'd like you to know that at least from me, your opinions were valued here very much.
I can't even talk politics now, for some reason half the people I work with are more interested in conservative American politics and that is not in my wheelhouse.
As for Mastodon, no, I don't enjoy it in the traditional sense. I use it for a fairly decent environmental etc. news feed (hashtags mostly) which has low angst, but, unfortunately there is little to no discussion of the topic at hand. I can't really get into the whole broadcasting style. I miss forums too much it seems but the world has moved on. People are happy with the privacy-stealing genocide platforms and I'm not going there!
Good luck.
When banning a user we're presented with a tickbox option to remove all posts/comments from them. Likely the admin did this rather than delve into the DB.
