It’d be nice to (eventually!) see a link laying out a privacy policy for the instance, something like: https://newsie.social/privacy-policy

I’d especially be interested to know how long you associate the IP addresses we visit from with our accounts, who can see that info (and our emails), what other PII you store, and how long deleted posts/accounts are stored for.

(Totally get and very much appreciate that smorks &co have a lot on their plates just getting this place off the ground, not trying to demand additional work, just a suggestion. Seems like it’d take some thinking to balance with eg. a good backup regimen.)

    As someone who sticks seeds in the ground and waits for rain, I enjoy the open discussion around balancing privacy/security/anti-spam bots. Although I may not understand all of it, this feels like a good discussion to have in the open. Big thumbs up from me, also is there a option to toss a coin to my Witcher(ie the person paying for back-up/server space). Due to the inconstancy of rain, money is tight but when I could spare a coffee for a stranger holding down the instance? Thanks again @smorks for your hard work.
