Mastodon includes an optional feature which lets you automatically delete your posts after a certain amount of time. There's a guide to using this feature including lots of questions answered at:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/deleting-posts-automatically-in-mastodon-after-a-certain-time-period

It's off by default, it only deletes stuff if you switch it on. You can also set it to keep certain posts, more info in the guide.

I've tried to answer questions about this feature in the guide, but let me know if I've missed anything.

There's now a Fediverse alternative to TikTok called Loops. It's currently in beta testing so it is rough round the edges, but you can sign up and try it for yourself. More info at:

➡️ https://joinloops.org

You can follow its official account at:

➡️ @loops

There's an iPhone app just released at:

➡️ https://apps.apple.com/app/loops-by-pixelfed/id6499375182

Loops now federates with the Fediverse, there are several Loops servers and Loops accounts can be followed from Mastodon etc (e.g. @dansup).

God help us. Are they sharing our email addresses with the alt-right White House press corp? Got an unsolicited, not opted-in for, out-of-the-blue introductory newsletter from The Epoch Times that went to a dedicated, unpublished email account I use ONLY to conduct personal government business, like SSA, IRS, login.gov, etc.

The email said when I click an article link I will be consenting and an account would be created based on my email.

The article in the email weren't alt-right or conspiracy ones. They were bait. #USPol #Spam #Disinfo

Anyone else yet?
