As said by others, donāt think itās an issue if you delete any of the selfie threads. Probably worth though doing a heads up over on the social board tho, so people can get a chance to save any they might want to grab.

Any idea how I do that?
Itās a default settingā¦
Totally fine with me to get rid of selfies. To be honest any image thatās more than a few months old should go I reckon.
Selfie-wise most of us has discussed it before and Iām pretty sure the consensus was ditch them

Anyone want me to put all my selfies in a zip file and put it in a public Google drive so you can still wank over them?

Would be good to know when the old files are getting deleted though, for example itād be nice to keep the contents of this thread for posterity.

Would add this one for the archive as well
Basically, any thread where users here are creating unique content, rather than copying it from elsewhere.
Fwiw, Iād say delete the selfie threads after a week or two, for both personal data security and space - Iād imagine photos are generally bigger than memes or whatever, so thatād get the biggest savings. Might get more people posting in the selfie threads if they knew theyād be taken down as well, sort of like a delayed Snapchat.

Yeah, biggest files tend to be uploads straight from the phone camera innit. Iāve started uploading screenshots of photos rather than the original
If you take them in messenger or WhatsApp they tend to be a lot smaller as well
(discovered this cos it works if you need to take a photo of a train ticket for a delay repay but are above the file size limit)

Firstly, donāt worry, it would be hard to find threads like the Mclusky one, which one need to be deleted manually and I love that thread and never would.
Iām going to get rid of some really old selfie threads and see if it makes any difference.

has something happened to gifs? been some (very funny) tiny giffing the last couple of days
(obviously gifs are not very space efficient anyway)
I reduced upload limits to 1meg and not to download images from elsewhere to our server, so itās maybe compressing them?

Iāve worked with @discourse and managed to reduce some of our storeage but weāre still right at limit
Want me to delete old selfie threads etc, as has been discussed before?
Yeah, I think deleting those will be a big help. As long as you donāt think people will kick off?
Nope I think itāll be fine. Iāll look into it in the next few days
