I learned in SQL class that you never ever hard delete data when there is any alternative. On Facebook and Twitter you get a whole month to change your mind before your account can’t be recovered.

This was actually a major confounding factor in the original marshmallow experiment. They never thought that kids wouldn’t trust the promise of additional marshmallow later.

I figured out what happened- I opened the site in a new browser container and that had the same effect as resetting cookies.

I can’t log in on my blahaj account. It gives me a little notification saying “Logged in” but then it doesn’t actually log me in. My lemmy.world account still works (thankfully, because it’s the only way I can figure out to report this issue) but I would like to have access to my local blahaj account as well.

edit: Either the devs fixed this extremely quickly or the problem went away on its own for some reason.

It’s so fucking funny how Twitter and Reddit are imploding on the exact same day lmao.
