    I value my conversations. And when they are taken from me I am robbed. That is a form of harm.

    You do not feel similarly?

      But they’re not taken from you - they still happened.

      No actual harm has happened. Nothing changes the fact that you had a conversation. You are no poorer for it being hidden.

      I know it’s said a lot, but if you don’t want to play by someone else’s rules, you can set up your own instance. Every single thing on here is the result of someone just setting up their own instance. Honestly, it’s never been easier than it is now.

          Maybe I am being obtuse - but I really don’t see what it is you think you’ve had taken from you.

          The conversation, the exchange of information, is intangible and transient by its very nature. You don’t own the conversation. There’s nothing about it to own.

          If you think there’s some obligation on the part of the moderator to preserve the transcripts of conversations that you’ve taken part in, even against their own better judgement, then I’m sorry but I don’t see it.

          But anyway, like I said - if you set up your own instance, you can keep those threads open for as long as you like.

      Is there a client or program that can continually scan and backup your account, so at least you have a copy?
