I was thinking about a content auto expire feature for mastodon, and I would love people's feedback https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/1295
@cyrinsong this makes me want a plugin system for Mastodon so people could publish third party plugins and instance maintainers could choose to implement them or not

@tinysubversions yea, something like adding mastodon-autoexpire to your gemfile for your instance

(or however that would be implemented)

@tinysubversions although there's quite a lot of thoughts about design and architecture that go into whether something should be an options flag versus a plugin
@cyrinsong yeah, definitely. I tend to the "everything should be a plugin" side but I understand the arguments for the other side of things too, and I don't feel terribly strongly about it
