The screenshot doesn’t make it apparent, but the user self-deleted that account.

As a user, it’s annoying when there’s good conversations in the comments that just disappear forever.

As an instance admin, it’s annoying to have that inaccessible stuff just taking up space until it maybe, eventually gets garbage collected months later (except any thumbnails/media…that lives forever wasting space 😠)

    Just stop caring. I respond for my own enjoyment and for that person who might read it that moment. The internet is forgetting fast on an accelerating speed by now, so if the comment is gone in a few hours, so be it.

      Somewhere, someplace, a data hoarder feels a shiver running down his spine. “We cannot lose another word.” he murmers as he stares at his walls of harddrives.
