#Mastodon #Suggestion #Feature #Upgrade #Worries

I wish I could pick and choose features in Mastodon instead of worry for asking for features and perhaps getting upgrades that might change other things too much.

● So to make posts self-destructive for example would make for a lot of clarity and even save some space.

I could set a default expiry time (especially if it didn't involve upgrading Mastodon to change existing requirements - like a plugin or just checkbox to enable feature).

● I think newer Mastodon's have this but haven't see screenshot -
anyone know / seen how it works?

I don't like things that need the latest browser

WHY / RESULTS:
Self-cleaning / Less:
██ Low Quality Messages
██ Ethereal / Temporary remarks
██ Clutter in timeline / better Pruning as-you-go rather than WTF after years of crap

Mark for deletion after 1 week etc... would helps

Making Public Timeline presentation of each profile better is the aim here,.

People hiding their shit replies from main timeline to leave their best ones... even after a week could help see the best stuff

Users could go around deleting and pruning timeline from time to time but really setting it from beginning makes sense as that is time *you know* your message is not meant to last...

Vocabulary for Marking as Messages:

█ Perishable Messages
█ Self-destruct Messages
█ Time-expiring Messages
█ De-cluttering
