The posts in that community will be deleted after that many days. For remote communities this only affects the local copy of each post and the post will still exist on the source instance and other instances (unless they too delete their copies). For local communities the deletion federates so the post is removed everywhere.
PieFed is intended to run for decades and storage costs money so admins can set how long they want to retain content for, on a per-community basis. Itās up to them to decide what is worth keeping forever and what should be trimmed.
AFAIK piefed.social has āforeverā for the retention of all local communities and only trims remote communities. In some communities piefed.social only keeps posts for very short periods, like 28 days, because itās the kind of content people look at once and has no lasting value beyond that.
But I do think weāre in a data hoarding mentality and wish to preserve everything. I think it is important to let things go.
In general I'd agree, but I'd like to see a Web where search engines show more answers on the Fediverse/Lemmy instead of Reddit. If the default is removal after 365 days, this won't happen.
I accept your correction, but in my defence, since the USA is ran by the unaccountable Epstein et al, I'd say that my comment still applies. If not even more so.
āIts not perfect, therefore no effort should be expended toward any possible harm reductionā
Non sequitur fallacy and then some. Not only didn't I say "it's not perfect", I said it's completely stupid such as what's depicted in the illustration above. I also didn't say "no effort should be expended", in fact, my first sentence proves the contrary: most efforts should be concentrated on the root causes. And the last sentence quotes the article, symptomatic measures should be prevention, e.g., patrol. Money towards these drones can be spent far more wisely.
The point is that the terrifying systemic problem of school shooters should be tackled at its root causes, not merely suppressing symptoms. It's beyond absurd that schools in the US have become institutions of normalized violence.
Going to another room and closing the door renders any drone "not very effectiveā¦" School shooters have nothing left to lose. These drones are an extremely expensive yet stupid way of defusing such people. From the article:
The drones can remain airborne for about eight minutes on a single battery charge
I know the US is plagued by obesity, but I'm pretty sure the average shooter can outrun a drone for more than 8 minutes inside a building. What a bad joke. This is simply about signing contract deals for weapons manufacturers because everything about this screams poor taste.
However, not everyone is convinced the drones are the right approach.
That includes Tony Montalto, whose 14-year-old daughter Gina Montalto was among the 17 people killed in the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school in Parkland, Florida. He told WPTV: āThese drones arenāt patrolling ā they just pop up when needed. So thatās part of the problem. We need to focus on the prevention piece rather than the reaction piece.ā

Exactly, which is what I want to see with the Fediverse. Could be a PieFed thing yes.

Are you certain? Because to me it instantly removes the incentive to contribute since it won't be retrievable/helpful to anyone beyond 1 year.
It makes sense in communities made to share picture and such, but not where high quality answers are frequent.
Baron Vladimir Harkonnen would like a word.
What in the world, Judy Reyes (Carla) hasn't aged a day.
I wish I could erase my memory of House M.D. and watch that masterpiece all over again. There isn't a shitty episode. Not one.
Oh my god I did not know! Thaaaaank youuu.
Exactly! It felt like "Eureka!" when I read this article for the first time.

What gymnastics? Have you caught even a glimpse of the topsy-turvy state of the USA the past few years? Anything normal requires mental gymnastics.
Weird that ICE didn't shoot him on account of concealing a deadly weapon.

Outside this makes total sense. Inside, not at all. And I say this as a quadcopter pilot myself.
I bet it's gonna be Tolkien Black.

Just like fighting gym leader Brock with Charmander.
