   Does anyone do the automatically delete/private your old toots/tweets/microblogs thing? Thoughts about it?

   Someone made the point to me recently that the only people trawling through random thoughts you had two years ago are not going to be the ones that have your best interests at heart.

   Gotta say, it's making more and more sense as I sit with that.

      Deleting things doesn't guarantee they've not been federated or archived somewhere of course.

      @neil It seems to be a trend (being built-in to the distributed Reddit alternative https://getaether.net/ for example) but while may make sense for private discussions that happen in public and other random thoughts and rants, I fear that valuable information that was contributed to 'the commons' then gets lost. Maybe it could be done based to the audience of the original post (deleting DMs and unlisted & followers-only posts).
