do you know if we'll be able to log in to cohost once it is set to read only?
I've seen lots of people saying mutuals can find their contact info from their profile links. would be nice to know if that will still work once the Posting ends.
yeah. PREVIEW OF HOW WE ARE IMPLEMENTING READ ONLY MODE:
we’ve had a “permission” setup for a while that set your account to read only. it was used to put users in timeout when they weren’t doing anything bad enough for a ban but still needed to chill for a bit.
we’re currently doing an audit to ensure that nothing can slip through this permission. on october 1, we will bulk assign it to all users.
all site functionality that doesn’t involve changing or creating things will remain.
ADDITIONALLY: the data exports include a “find your friends” page which is a unified set of profile contact links for everyone you followed. we want to make that part easy.

Bro I've been spending the past few days going insane looking at a Google spreadsheet like Sisyphus looking at his boulder.
I could cry, thank you @staff for doing that. You didn't have to but you're doing it and that's why I'll always be a friend of eggbug.
ANYWAY MAKE USE OF PROFILE LINKS Y'ALL. IT'S LITERALLY FREE REAL ESTATE!!!
Addendum from @plumpan about not wanting that info to be publicly available in the archives
