“When data is kept indefinitely by default, it changes our relationship with that software. People sometimes may hesitate to create anything in shared spaces for fear of cluttering them, while others might indiscriminately litter them.” 🎯
Gotta find more uses for the expires tag
Isnt that dangerous? Since once posted, anything can be saved, scraped and stored out of the system. It could make some people post something they assume will be forgoten only to be surprised when someone saves it.
And my company is out here building a system where programs run forever, can move transparently between host machines, and data is persisted forever in an event log.
Looks like we'll have an epic ideological battle on our hands 😉

Agreed

Absolutely 💯
Relays should purge data every month
I use Backblaze for that. I thought all my data would be saved but alas no, they forgot a bunch of it!
