  • It’s not good to ever keep random accounts abandoned. It’s just good security and often privacy hygiene that most people don’t practice. I already have over 100 accounts total across the internet, and am planning to skim that number down drastically. It’s especially important security & privacy hygiene, because if you leave dozens of accounts abandoned and the services experience a data breach, the fact that your data is now out there is partially your own fault, and since we’re on the english-speaking side of the internet, I doubt we’re going to hear about a data breach for some random Japanese site.



  • Thankyou, that fixed it! Didn’t realise I had done that. On the web client, there’s a little note above the languages list that says “Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content.” This confused me because I thought it was saying that “undetermined” needed to be selected in order to see most content. So after clicking another language, I re-selected “Undetermined” to make sure the language would remain as it was. So I think the wording of the little note mislead me and caused me to do the wrong thing. I clicked “Save” after that, not knowing that I’d disabled English posts.

    I still don’t fully understand that little note, because if I select English, then “Undetermined” is automatically deselected; but I still see most content (including what’s on my profile). But if I specifically select “Undetermined” and save the changes, than the posts become invisible, even though that’s what the note seemed to be trying to make sure I did.

    The note seems to be saying “Keep Undetermined selected” in order to keep seeing most content, while in reality, selecting “Undetermined” makes most content disappear. Do you see what I’m trying to say?

    Edit: Re-worded some of the second paragraph and split it into two, because I had an incomplete sentence that didn’t make sense. Oops; ironic.
