There was a YouPoll outage that clogged up the bot, so a couple days worth of episode discussion posts got posted all at once. That alone wasn't too bad, but... then I decided to load up the Fall 2023 episode config while I was at it and fat-fingered in the Winter 2023 episode config instead (AKA: the already finished season from 9 months ago). I'm ashamed to say that this led to posting hundreds of pointless threads from one of the most boring seasons in recent memory -- an embarassing and strictly human error on my part.

Unfortunately these posts can't really be effectively deleted because the pre-existing holo code which Shinobu uses as a base will just go and regenerate the missing threads. This regenerating issue could have been avoided had I taken an SQLite database backup beforehand... but as evidenced by the posts still being up I clearly failed to do that.

Moving forward, my plan is to A) aggressively take database backups when loading seasonal episode configs in the future & B) conduct a pre-load sanity check on the contents of each seasonal episode config file prior to importing it as an added precaution against misreading filenames.

You gave her too many doughnuts and not enough attention. ๐Ÿฉ

Thanks! Guess I shouldn't touch them. The local feed will fix itself over time as others begin posting again anyway.

Much appreciated, sorry for the trouble!
