I’m struggling with it being a bug and not a feature. Serious question. Can it be both?
I can think of many things I wish I could take back, but some brought growth and understanding. Bad takes that don’t age well, or notes containing incredible conversations possibly lost.
I’m not sure how I’ll feel about this post in the morning. I hope I can still delete it.
Here is how I think about this. When you are out to dinner with friends the conversation around the table is ephemeral, no matter how amazing.
We don’t “record” the dinner conversation. We may take a few pictures to remember the occasion but once dinner is over, the conversations live in our memories only.
I think almost all social media content should be the same.
If there is anything of real importance that should be “remembered” write a blog post, or keep the notes in your personal journal if it’s that important to preserve.
Most of daily contacts with family, friends, coworkers is ephemeral only the really important stuff is recorded for posterity.
I agree, but if we set a timer on a note would we then have a choice to cancel the TTL in order to save the conversation?
Maybe Time To Live that checks for a permanence by the note’s owner. Idk - shooting from the hip here. I see context for both situations.
You may decide something is worth saving After it’s posted. Often reasons people repost content.
