@kensanata Hi Alex, please have a look at this:
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/10537
Maybe you have some ideas or support the idea? I'm asking you, since your Trunk project is aiming to fix that problem.
Who to follow on #Mastodon? We are trying to give new users a better start and selected a couple of profiles for #privacy related topics: https://social.privacytools.io/about/more#follow
This service allows cross-posting between a #Mastodon and a #Twitter account. This Toot or Tweet is also a test if it works.

A reminder of why I think deleting old posts on social media is important: "I don’t think they have much value going back months and years. I never read through years of tweeting history! This only benefits your enemies, never your friends." https://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/2017-04-27_Record_Keeping
LifeProTip: Don't take unsolicited advice personally. Most of the time the person giving the advice is giving advice they wish they had, not advice they think you need.
What kind of federated services would people like to see privacytools.io host? Plume (https://joinplu.me/)? PeerTube (https://joinpeertube.org/en/)? Nextcloud (not sure how much storage we would be able to provide though)?
Continuous post deletion tool for #Twitter and #Mastodon: Forget is a service that automatically deletes your old posts that everyone has forgotten about. Shouldn't databases forget too? https://forget.codl.fr/

Another case: #Airbnb guest found hidden #surveillance camera by scanning Wi-Fi network. The most troubling part of this is the reaction from Airbnb. They didn’t do anything until it became public and a PR issue. That is just shady.
