   I really like the way Wire allows me to post self-destructing messages. It would be of huge benefit for the long term storage needs of all #fediverse instances, if they allowed users to mark fun shiptoasting posts to self-destruct in a day, or a week, or whatever, leaving more informative or thoughtful posts to become part of the history of the web.

      In fact, if the default behaviour was to make anything a user posts self-destructing, unless they mark it otherwise (with the user able to opt-out), that would massively reduce the long-term storage burden on instances. With the bonus of being compatible with the #RightToBeForgotten in the #GDPR

         Here's one implmentation of self-destruction fediverse posts, as a hosted service. #Forget

            @strypey It would be best to have this feature out of the box. Because relying on third party server is... unreliable. And expecting user to host it (this one is self-hostable, if I'm not mistaken) is too high an expectation.
