This ā154 versionsā link is hilarious to me. I wrote my last post in Micro.blog for Mac and whenever you hit āS it saves another version to the server just in case you need to revert. Other obsessive āS people may be able to relate.
@manton There was a bug in WP early in the block editor days that would save a revision after, something like, three key presses. Given how often I edit while I write, it was... a bit intense.
@eatyourglory Yes, but only for 60 days. Itās designed so you can restore if you make a mistake or accidentally delete a post, but then the old versions are cleared automatically.
@manton This brings a memory: when I was studying computer science in college, a friend of mine used to save his Turbo Pascal source file twiceā¦ when I discovered he was doing this, I asked him why, and he answered: ābecause I want to make sure the file is effectively written to the floppy diskā. š We were using TRS-80 at the time with 8-inch floppies. You never know when things might go wrong. š¤
@eatyourglory Thereās no limit except after 60 days the oldest ones will start going away. We could add a limit but the chances of someone saving a post 1000s of times seems slim. š
