[tantek] aaronpk, you'll find this humorous, I'm unmerging venues that Foursquare User #1 merged
#
aaronpk who is user #1? o.O
#
[tantek] Jimmy F. (pretty sure the F stands for Foursquare) and their icon is an abstract Foursquare head with a ball cap that has a Foursquare crown icon on it
#
aaronpk huh https://foursquare.com/user/1
#
[tantek] that's them
#
[tantek] I'm guessing it's "support"
#
aaronpk guessed the url
#
[tantek] I created unique venues for each bus (number) I rode and have documented them with photos (that showed the bus number), and someone (maybe in support) decided to merge them all on 2020-12-01
#
aaronpk lol!
#
aaronpk or maybe merged by a user that was later deleted and had their edits reattributed to user 1?
#
[tantek] oh yeah that's possible
#
[tantek] sigh, looks like merging/unmerging is a lossy operation, they lose track of which venues had which photos
#
[tantek] and it gets stuck with the "primary" venue (then one you merged "into") when you undo the merge 😞
#
[tantek] so now I have bus # photos on the wrong bus venues dammit. I hate content bugs like this
#
[tantek] their photos database is a bit wonky anyway, they lost all of mine when they lost my account in 2019 and were only able to partially restore my photos (despite restoring all my checkins)
#
aaronpk yikes
#
[tantek] yeah they don't really have restorable backups. just going to put that out there 😛

#
aaronpk Lol!
#
aaronpk how is that different on Twitter from send and then delete?
#
Loqi hey robnugen: can you move the tech talk to #indieweb-dev to keep this channel more inclusive and inviting?
[tantek] and [KevinMarks] joined the channel
#
[KevinMarks] I think the twitter thing is more of a delayed send.
