Sorry if my question was unclear. I did not mean to ask for how long administrators of Salsa would have access to their internally archived data snapshots. Let me try again... When I post to a discussion at Salsa, then for how long is my post publicly available? My guess is that my post disappears when the git-repo-project considers the conversation obsolete (e.g. when a merge request is adopted or dropped), and that backups from then on preserves the _removal_ of my post, not the _existence_ of it. The purpose of my question is to compare with mailinglists, where posts are preserved "forever" (except corner-cases like spam and take-down demands). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
