You can now delete posts/comments at any point after they are created. This is a hard delete. When you delete something, the content is lost forever and replaced with 'deleted by author' title/text.

There's been some discussion around doing something with the tips, but we don't. I'd like to keep things irreversible. Maybe we'll eventually suggest donating the tips, but I don't want to force it.

If someone deletes a bunch of stuff you tipped and don't like it - don't send them tips in the future.

There's lots of small fixes to dupe detection. Thank you @cointastical for catching and cataloging many of these.

• we now ignore case
• we ignore sub domains (thanks to @ekzyis for work on this)
• more youtube link variations recognized as dupes

Further

• we un-shorten links automatically
• we remove twitter tracking from urls (thanks to @ekzyis for this too)

When you post a story that has a highly related title to something else that's been posted, you'll see a 'similar' section underneath your post.

This is a soft nudge to not repost a similar story. We might do harder nudges depending on how this goes.

• We made some enhancements to lnurl-auth copy that should help stackers doing that for the first time.
• We also created a separate 'sign up' page for stackers who were confused about logging into a service they hadn't first 'signed up' to.

I'm working on integration-y stuff which is very tbd (slashtags auth, breez auth - which might be close to impossible given our auth structure, and open timestamps).

After that, I think I'm going to work on making the daily discussion be more like chat - live updates, infinite forever scroll, etc. That's at least what it feels like I want to work on.

We also want to do a more thorough walkthrough for new stackers.

Cheerio.
