I just set a temporary experiment to see how deletion of content from other servers is handled. We need mechanisms in place to control how full the hard drive of this server gets. So I have TEMPORARILY set content from other servers to be deleted after only one day. This is too short to leave in place. I am experimenting to see: a) If answers to local posts from other servers get deleted, b) If I bookmark an answer to a local post, does it get deleted, and c) If I bookmark federated content from another instance, does it get deleted?

Need to get the answers to these questions before this server is too busy so we can better know how to set the deletion settings for saving hard drive space.

I'm now a regular donor 🥳 And tonight's sunset was a stunner! Mastodon is self-funding and as we're all experiencing, delightfully ad-free! Server space & bandwidth obviously costs, though - and the lovely people who have been quietly building this space are now seeing an expansion of the work needed and the costs to cover. If you are in a position to support this server - - you can donate on their Ko-Fi Page: https://ko-fi.com/mastodonappuk #donations #opensource #serverspace #bandwidth
