where do you source your magazines from out of interest? Are they epubs etc?

Was your project folder synced via nextcloud?? I had a similar issue arise with my projects folder being deleted and not in the trash bin etc, can only think nextcloud was the culprit as I had removed the folder from my server and default behaviour must be to replicate that removal locally.

i didn’t downvote bro that was just what was there

I like the hackernews approach where downvotes on comments aren’t seen, the comments are just faded out. The more downvotes = the more invisible it is.

Also thought this could be a cool approach with nice side effects - https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2023/jun/social-media-trustdistrust-buttons-could-reduce-spread-misinformation

haha not that you should care, but guess you can be downvoted via other instances.
