Key quotes
· 5 pulledThe purpose of this project is to try
On a personal note, the number of Stories removed yesterday (Saturday, February 3, 2024) was the lowest ever recorded by the service.
This includes 2 duplicate Stories.
As a side note, in the list always check whether a Story is a duplicate or not: this is a very reasonable reason for removal and unfortunately I have no way of automatically determining it in the service!
