It is just over three weeks to the end of March, so I thought I should update you on the progress of site migration, and also share some not so wonderful news.
Bad news first:
There is no way to keep the comments on existing posts when the posts themselves are exported. This is not what anyone wants to hear, but it is the reality. The comments pre 2021 are gone regardless, but the new comments will also disappear.
This isn’t a choice being made, so much as a reality of the difficulty of maintaining user privacy.
