@HistoPol @david @paul @fediversereport @fediversenews @Bluedepth @darren @volkris @hashtaggames I’m doing the opposite here. Auto deleting every 2 weeks. I’m enjoying being ephemeral.

God point and max security. :)

Yes, that might be an option. - Two weeks, however, would not work for me.
But I will give this some though, though I want to keep my toots in a DB or something locally at least.

@HistoPol @juneussell @david @paul @fediversereport @fediversenews @darren @volkris @hashtaggames the Automatic Post Deletion has criteria to it too. Like keep posts if they get lots of favorites or boosts, and how much to keep. Along with pinned and other sorts of criteria. I did some poking around after I spotted it. I was so gratified at the really thoughtful criteria available. Very neat. :)

I want my stuff to stay around forever! I don't know if that's possible here, though.

If you change your instance, or if your instance goes dead, then your stuff is gone forever anyway.

Not if you download it first.

Anything digital can always be converted, if you really want that.

As I said on the Mastodon Discord server -- the experience here is more like my old Skynet Pager. Quick thoughts, gone forever!

But sometimes you like to go back in time to revisit what was said. It can be helpful!

Absolutely.
In particular, once you realize that you resolve certain issues in the selfsame way after years, even if you don't even remember having solved the problem before. :)

@david @Bluedepth @HistoPol @paul @fediversereport @fediversenews @darren @volkris @hashtaggames I used to think that - but then, I never did it, except when I’d been drunk-tweeting the night before and needed to apologise …

@juneussell The Internet is forever, as they say. People take screenshots and save posts all the time. I expect once I post something there really is no taking it back. If someone read it they will remember it even if they did not save it. We all have to be mindful of what we post.
