Mastodon users may not need this, but Bluesky users do! 🦋

If you or someone you know also have a Bluesky account, you might want to look at @cyd to facilitate post deletion and good data minimization practices.

We're happy to announce today a new way to do this easily: Cyd for Mobile! 🐦️✨

https://lockdown.systems/cyd-for-mobile-delete-your-old-bluesky-posts-except-for-what-you-want-to-keep/

Why should everything you post on social media stay online, and public, forever?

It's *your* data! You should have the power to keep it, move it, and delete it as you please.

We're super excited to announce Cyd for Mobile--Android for now, and soon iOS. It lets you back up and delete your old Bluesky posts, likes, and other data, while leaving what you actually want people to see when they look up your account.

Cyd for Bluesky is here! I’ve been working on this for months, and also using it on my own account for months. Here are my settings:

- Delete posts older than 30 days unless they have at least 20 likes or 20 reposts
- Delete reposts older than 30 days
- Delete likes older than 30 days
- Delete chat messages older than 21 days

At some point I want to add Mastodon support too, but it’s slow going

Hello Fediverse!

We are pleased to be joining the Federated Universe today, with this new Mastodon account! 🐢  

We are Lockdown Systems,
a worker-owned collective building freedom and privacy technologies to inform the public, fight surveillance, and empower people to take back control of their own data.

Our projects include:

Start to finish, the process took just under two and a half days. That was 18 years worth of data, consisting of 12,000+ tweets, retweets, likes, and DMs.

Thanks to @cyd for making the task so easy.

Hadn't been on twitter the last 2 years, but finally deleting my account, with the help of @cyd

2008 - 2026 is a long enough run I suppose.
