I am too old to get the meme…but this would be in reference to the fact that piefed admins can configure content to be deleted from their instance after a set amount of time has elapsed. This is done manually on a per-community basis. For an example, if you look at the sidebar of !anime@ani.social, it is set to have content removed from piefed.social after 1 year. The retention policy for a community is displayed in the sidebar just below the list of moderators.

I though that there were Lemmy spaces that do it too, but likely they use a bot to accomplish that. For it to be baked right into the PieFed code, and displayed in a consistent manner, I think is wonderfully transparent. :-)

I… Don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing
