@jcm @mldkyt@soc.mldkyt.com its passive because all instances of users you follow will deliver posts to you and its a scraper because its accumulating remote users posts and doesnt delete them when a delete request is received deleting posts manually implies that a) youll look at them even if its briefly and b) you actually have the capacity to go through all of them

@laru@pleroma.laru.dsrv.x7q.eu @mldkyt@soc.mldkyt.com Maybe I explained my plan badly: deleting manually means manual intervention (i.e. unplugging the SD card, putting into my PC, and running a script to delete posts requested to be deleted), not going through all posts by hand The only reason I'm doing this is, because I'm not sure, that fully automated deletion can be implemented given the constraints I'm working with. I don't intend for this instance to be malicious and I'll go out of my way to make sure every single deletion request will be honored and that as soon as a deletion request is received the post is inaccessible before its final deletion by manual intervention. When I say my project is not passive, I mean that its purpose is not to record all fediverse activity. It'll record as little as necessary to build a timeline and only make this available to authenticated users. It will also no record any non-public posts to begin with.
