It seems cool, but why the mandatory 24 hour auto-delete?

edit: I guess if it took off, you'd incur storage costs :thinking:

Like 4chan, ephemeral posts create a different kind of community. I wonder how this plays out legally (i.e. don't you have obligations of log persistence in case a crime is reported?)

UPDATE: I've removed the 24-hour message deletion function. Posts will now remain on the platform.

Don't fall into the trap of audience capture: https://www.neuroscienceof.com/human-nature-blog/audience-ca...

Do your thing and ignore some randoms replies online. Including this one.

For sure, thanks for this advice!

UPDATE 2: I may add an option to decide if you want your posts to be deleted within 24 hours. For the moment, no more deletions at all.

To be fair, I like the ephemeral post message board style. I was just curious of the legal implications of deleting content. I am not a lawyer, and there could be none as far as I know.

I just like this concept of ephemeral post!

Thanks!
