   !gnusocial : idea . is it possible to put on each new notice an expiration date. After that date something could delete the notice. Like twitter gnusocial is something for now. The value of old notice is not very hight. I wish I can delete my own notices older than 1 year or maybe less. how hard is it to do it?

     I like that idea! There'd be no guarantee that the data is deleted though, since it'd be up to each node storing the data to remove it.

     @lnxw48 Looking at it for the first time now, it won't call any of the linked cleanup functions connected to the Notice table, so this might leave the database in a somewhat broken state. Not necessarily affecting site functionality but comparable to deleting the source for a symbolic link. (for example the attachment page would spew out errors if an attachment is view…
