People who use social media other than Mastodon :twitter: :facebook: :meta: :

If you are still using some [BigCorpSocial™️] social media account(s),
I highly recommend maintaining a good data privacy hygiene on there. Especially because of all the data collected from these platforms, most recently, infamously, for scanning all your posts to feed For-Profit-AI-Machine™️

One important step to improve your data hygiene is to delete the older posts that are no longer useful to you (you can do this automatically on Mastodon by the way) :nes_fire:

Many [BigCorpSocial™️] have rendered this task more difficult recently by removing features previously provided to third-party developers.

BUT there is a fantastic desktop app developed by @micahflee coming up for this with a workaround! :awesome:

Semiphemeral! :birdsite:✨

Semiphemeral will make it possible for you to delete your older posts from your [BigCorpSocial™️] accounts, according to your preferences.

I don't often recommend tools like this,
but this one is a great one:

Privacy by Design ✅
From a trustworthy source ✅
Top practices for data minimization ✅
Runs locally ✅

I highly recommend it to anyone with social media accounts outside of the Fediverse.

Exciting Privacy News! 🔒:birdsite:

If you, like me, are a
big fan of deleting you own data online when you do not need it anymore to reduce your digital prints,

I highly recommend following this amazing project: https://semiphemeral.com/like-a-phoenix-semiphemeral-will-rise-from-the-ashes/

Semiphemeral once helped me immensely while deleting my 24,000 tweets to prepare my Twitter-Exit :nes_fire:

I am extremely pleased to read this tool will not only be brought back by its creator @micahflee but will also have incredible new features!

All built with a privacy-first mindset ✨

Thank you Micah! I can't wait to see Semiphemeral fly again.
