Embedded content from other sites
Posts on this site may contain embedded content (videos, images, posts, etc.). Embedded content from other sites behaves the same way as if the visitor had visited that site.

Duration of data storage
When you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so that we can automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of keeping them in the moderation queue.
