@ntnsndr @rwg @inquiline a fediverse server that did deliberate loss[1] of old messages would be such a fascinating thing. I think a lot of people *say* they prefer disappearing content, but often the revealed preference is for permanence. (I wonder if @signalapp folks has ever considered deletion-by-default.)
[1] could be just taking private older messages, or perhaps complete deletion; perhaps for all messages, or just those that fall below a certain popularity threshhold; etc.
