It's undeniably shitty behaviour from the Goo but I'm increasingly getting the message that the only sane attitude is detachment from anything I posted in some past , more naive age. Scribe on vellum or linen rag that which is for the ages, and ignore the rest. If it's on a server I don't even mourn it, I killed it already by putting it there.
- ziml77 4y agoThat’s how I think about it. What’s the big deal really to lose things from the past? I still have way more of my personal history solidified in in recorded form than people of ages past. They managed just fine, I will too.
- gpanders 4y ago>What’s the big deal really to lose things from the past? Losing pictures of my kids when they were young would be devastating. For some things, it’s a very big deal.
- tasuki 4y agoSad, sure, but devastating?
- ergonaught 4y agoYes. Why would it even occur to you to police how someone feels about losing things of immense personal significance?
- CoastalCoder 4y agoNot the GP, but it's not necessarily policing. Sometimes readers want to know if you're using hyperbole vs. speaking plainly. Also: HN is a place for discussion and debate. You shouldn't expect any of your claims to be immune from scrutiny.
- hotpotamus 4y agoI tend to agree, but you can also run your own servers.
