I think all public relays should automatically delete all notes that were posted before 3 months.

- while I am not a Snapchat fan/user but it gives users a bigger sense of security & attracts different type of audience

- hopefully it allows us to see the beautiful faces behind anonymous accounts

- no one will go back and scroll down 6 months in an account in any normal case.

- it’s more efficient

* I do understand that nothing gets really deleted on the internet but why keeping it public. There’s no pt, unless it’s a shop.

I am a *huge* fan of ephemeral social media.

If there is anything important it can live on a blog. Over on Mastodon I have auto delete set to 30-days.

30-days is a good time frame.

If you think about it - if you go to dinner with friends the conversation around the table isn’t recorded, bar maybe a picture or two. When dinner is done the conversations live in our memories only.

I think ephemeral social media captures that vibe. Very little has to live on as record of what was actually said in that moment in time.

Also, every day we learn something new and our perspectives changes over time. I don’t think today the same way I thought 5 years ago. So even in my offline life, I always say this is my opinion today as per the best of knowledge, it might evolve or change by time. Nothing is certain in this world, everything is possible. So how can I be.

What would be the reasoning behind that?

What’s the reasoning behind keeping old content?

Having people find you? Some record of credibility/integrity? Historical records? Helping with remembering stuff? Just the first ideas that come to my mind.
