There's a feature unique to Mastodon that I appreciated. The auto-delete. It will delete posts older than a specified amount of time.

C'mon nobody must feel that important to think that someone's going to go through your old posts from further than a week ago or even yesterday. Who are you kidding.

Makes sense! #Nostr relays should also purge posts beyond a point. Why keep piling up data?

Yea! I'm sure there's got be a scheduled purge that happens that is not up to you but whoever is running the relay.

A post from May 2023 is still up on one of my other accounts 😐

I don't use that anymore

It is forever! πŸ˜„

To me, a reasonable amount of time for purging is weekly.

Agreed

I cringe at some of my old memes πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Generally true, but I think if my father or grandfather had a nostr, I'd like to see what they were thinking about at my age.

It is optional of course

I agree with this! #Nostr relays should purge data every month. What's the point of piling up data on relays?

i hate it when i am searching something on my older posts and i can't find it.

This feature if ever implemented, should be on post basis, not in general only

On Mastodon, you can choose the amount of time and what kind of post. You can keep replies or posts with images, etc.

Ah that is nice

I think it's a "nice to have" feature.
