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.
@cR0w "Infosec isn't a sprint, it's a marathon!"
No, infosec is a hamster wheel with a giant motor attached to it. And if you stop running, the wheel keeps turning and you die tumbling.
Dystopia notwithstanding, Ring's commercial about using their surveillance to find lost pets makes no sense.
They say 10M pets are lost per year & their service finds "more than 1 dog per day." So let's even say generously 500 dogs per year.
Out of 10M lost pets, they want Americans to commit privacy suicide for a .005% success rate???
"We fail 99.995% of the time! Let us violate your privacy!" is a helluva way to burn $10M in ads and destroy your brand.
I'm uninstalling my RING today.
