Among the interesting features is the ability to delete old toots:
But why? I might want to keep a copy of my toots, but I don’t think they have much value going back months and years. I never read through years of tweeting history! This only benefits your enemies, never your friends. So I want to expire my toots. We can always write a blog post about the good stuff.
I love this! I consider my mastodon account digital chaff, and like the idea of processing posts by time periods, publishing notable ideas elsewhere, and deleting them.
I am not sure what I think about posts that start conversations, because that seems important and interesting… but do I really want to leave it up to the future to search our dumb conversations for context? Important conversations, I am not sure the federation of micro-posts is the optimal storage solution for those.
