FTR, I think ephemeral auto-deleting posts are a good thing... in an encrypted MUC app. On public social media, I'm not so sure. -V

Twitter Debuts Fleeting, Which Is Tweeting But Auto-Deleting
https://gizmodo.com/twitter-debuts-coward-mode-1845698692
@voltronic fleets feature is just gonna be like the moments feature fun when it arrives but users stop using it as time goes by
I've had fleets feature in my android app for ages now although it seems to vanish then reappear 🤷♂️ which is weird lol
if people wanna delete, auto-delete, their posts their choice I guess
to call it a "coward mode" like that article says is just stoopid and no doubt might start some users harassing other users for doing so
@voltronic 🤣 indeed they named it well
deffo is a feature that has abuse possibilities
@ecksmc
Are you saying that this feature is... fleeting?
I agree that the article title is pure clickbait and incendiary. I do, however, think this feature is ripe for abuse.
