I was looking for a reply in a post earlier this year but then found it's gone. This is kinda a downside, I wish old replies could be re-fetched, never thought it's "impossible to undo".

It could work in a way it would backfill the replies once the post is accessed, but tech-wise I understand if it's not possible.

Question for admins: Are you doing something to circumvent this?

Masto.host suggests this should be left blank. Never realized how dangerous this is for the content on your own server.

@rolle really really unfortunate that this is even offered as a solution. this shouldn't be an option

@liaizon I was really surprised about the fact didn't notice this before. It's not "cache" if it deletes the things on your server. I noticed even one of my own reply gone because I had answered to a reply that was deleted... not good.

@rolle I have seen many people use this method without realizing the implications

@liaizon I kinda thought it really short time and mistakenly thought these are the same thing

Media cache retention period
Content cache retention period

But the other just removes them temporarily and re-fetches them on demand, other permanently and for good.

This is a perfect description of so much that's been going on of late, in the verse and elsewhere.
