@[email protected] Another follow up about two stage #sleep in #drosophila from the long term sleep duo Paul Shaw @evilflyguy and Bruno van Swinderen lab https://elifesciences.org/articles/88198
Hmm... I'm not sure what's going on there as it's difficult to find the original post by flypapers.
Is it possible they deleted the original post? That would leave your reply orphaned as seen at that link.
It's still there: https://botsin.space/@flypapers/111336415484128157
Both of my other servers (scicomm and gougere) see it, but apparently not drosophila.social @giorgiogilestro ?
I have 3-month auto-deletion on those bots, but normally not if they were fav'ed or boosted, see below. @kofanchen you did both, so I guess it does work!
A possible feature request would be to not #autodelete posts that were replied to, I can't find such an option.

Hi everyone, yes drosophila.social has an automatic 90 days deletion for posts coming from other servers. I had assume this should not break down the thread because it should be using some kind of universal referencing?
@giorgiogilestro @jocelyn_etienne @kofanchen @flypapers
The "content cache retention period" section is very powerful and can cause more effects than most admins expect. It potentially breaks threads permanently.
There's a thread about it here, worth reading the replies as they have technical details:

According to Eugen, the setting was only meant for announcement instances rather than general instances?
Attached: 1 image ⚠️ Warning to Mastodon Admins! Be REALLY careful about the Content Cache Retention Period setting. (If you're at all unsure, leave it blank!) If you fill in a number in that field, it will start deleting posts and boosts that have already federated to your server. Threads on your server may end up with huge chunks missing and make no sense, and it cannot be undone. That's why it has a brightly coloured warning, because it is so dangerous.

Thanks, this explains what happened. I have to say it is extremely poorly thought out. First of all, it is ridiculous that this is still called a cache while
clearly it's not a cache. And secondly, if the consequences are so severe one should add a proper warning not just have the box of a different colour.
I see there is an issue open https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/27733
I will use the cmdline to purge from now on.
Community feedback has been that the current Content Retention page under 'Administration > Server settings > Content retention' is confusing for administrators (even after some changes in Mastodon...
@giorgiogilestro @jocelyn_etienne @kofanchen @flypapers
Agree with every word of that! I hope they fix this situation soon!
