I would love self destructive comments and timers but probably not priority for SN to create

Very good privacy idea! To be honest, I didn't like the delete feature when it was released (that was before I was part of SN) but now, I think it's reasonable :)

I think I just was a "the internet never forgets"-hardliner so I didn't get why we should allow deleting comments

Would be a funny spin if I now write code to allow automatic deletes, lol :)

I'll create a ticket and will see how much work that would require

lmao! hack the simulation aka build it to taste! :)

Are you in? :)

I have some thoughts about this you might forget by morning. ;)

If we can never forget who we have been, will we ever dare try becoming someone new?

There's a reason "doubling down" and "cancel culture" are prominent concerns these days. It's a stagnating, immobilizing phenomenon– on all scales.

Because the only way intelligent beings (societies or individuals) can learn is by making errors, and correcting. Without error, there is no error-correction.

But who wants to make an error when he is always wrong? This is what social media, what "the internet never forgets", brings us. A society of immobilized thinkers carrying their bags of how to never be wrong again. How to never be open to anything, or admit to anything. Total drag!

I dream of a forgetful internet <3
