I'm still generally unclear the use case for me with regard to Friendica and many other federated systems. I am really enjoying my Mastodon account, and find it about enough to replace Twitter and Facebook for most things.

There are times when I would like to have a longer, more bloggy size post limit. I've looked into options for retaining some old Facebook content with static sites (Hugo, etc), but when editing my timelines tldown, I find that much of the content is rage about some current news item or another.

I mean, I let go of most of the Twitter contents (65000 tweets if I remember right) with barely a look. Some of the most important things in the years Before Elon were in the interactions, the connections with other people. Those aren't as easy to hold on to as a simple post.

With the advent of AI sucking in all human content, maybe an expiring social media is the real answer
