A decent approach, as a social platform, would be to use the Reddit model. The content is stripped and replaced with [deleted] if deleted by the user, and [removed] if removed by moderation (with the appropriate log in the modlog). This should maintain the overall comment chain.

I think the issue may be federating the update to other instances. I’m not sure how it works now, but if it’s treated as an edit, that should work like they currently do.

One of my favorites to get when traveling with family, because it’s available almost everywhere, and is consistently great for the price.

Where I live, I have hills, big hills in every direction. I own both types of bike, a rad runner 6 for long, fast rides from my house, and then 20 miles up into the mountains along back roads.

I have a road bike that I bought when I couldn’t really afford it, and paid about 1,000 for it. It’s a tomasso. It’s ok. I wish I had a trek, or a specialized hybrid road with the slightly thicker tires than the tiny ones my road bike has. I can’t really afford those.

I use the RAD bike more for cardio, generally leave it in pedal assist 2 or 3 and just try to get a quick workout during lunch time. I take the other plain road bike out with a cycling club locally one or two nights a week. I don’t own a car, and I work from home. Biking makes me happy, but I get lazy when it’s really hot, so I ride the e-bikes more when it’s hot.

I’m 45. It’s not as easy as 45 to build muscle back up and get superfit in a short amount of time. The e-bike helps with cardio and keeps me excited about taking a quick spin without getting totally smoked by all of the hill climbs it takes to get out of my neighborhood, much less through the foothills of the smokies and Appalachians.

Even if you’re going off to the side you’re on, it’s a distraction. It will draw my attention back to see if you’ve fallen, crashed, or gotten hurt. I will check my mirrors for you to see if there are additional dangers to me. I ride around bike-like objects all the time. Passing you isn’t even going to be a thing that I notice. You’ll get a “On your left, passing” from me when I’m about to go by so you know not to do any funny business in my direction. I don’t expect you to exit the lane. Heck, if you’re doing 15MPH, we might ride and bullshit with each other for a bit.

For Karl!

No. It changes the username to [deleted].

This is such a short-sighted take. My wife was prom queen… 3 years before I met her. I forgot about it completely until I read your post and thought, “what a childish thing to say, no one cares about that.” Why? Because I have 20 years of history with my wife. 2 children, a good job, a good life, and a happy family. Exactly 0% of that has anything to do with a prom that happened years before we met.

I want to live a long and happy life, and have as many days as possible with my wife, my children, and maybe their children (if they decide to have any). The things that worry me aren’t whether or not I’m having sex with a former prom queen, but how can I stay healthy so I can have a chance to make as many memories with the people I love as possible. It’s about whether or not they feel loved, accepted, and fulfilled. High school popularity has no value whatsoever to healthy, adjusted adults.

Yeah. Conservatives are all about the reasoned, rational discourse and would never say anything that anyone would consture as hate speech. /eyeroll

It also seems Reddit has turned on rate limiting early. I’ve had to run PDS a number of times to try and get all of my comments. At first I was just editing them, but since it’s rate limited, it would only get 1 comment every few seconds, with the reddit server responding “You’ve done this too much recently, try waiting 3 seconds” in between.

I’ve now moved on to editing and then deleting, since it won’t keep cycling over the edited messages and overwriting them again. I wish PDS would check to see if the comment had already been edited by a previous run and skip if the comment already contained the message chosen to replace. Then you could run it as many times as needed to replace all comments.

That’s what happened to me. I think I may have paid for the game when it had a story mode at a very early access stage. And then, over a very short period, it became a totally different game. And that annoyed me.

I’d probably say “consenting adults” when it comes to who people love instead of "within legal constraints, because if conservatives could make gay people illegal, they would. But otherwise, I’m with you 100%.

I don’t go to church, think church is probably one of the most dangerous places for kids to be around adults, and still don’t care if people choose to force their kids to go to church. It’s just not my business who people choose to associate with as long as they’re not harming others.

Three, actually, if you count the indicted guy, the current governor, and the Miami mayor.
