A thought if you want to sell to companies, "with per-user keys that get shredded when a user decides to delete their account."
You'll need soft delete, work messages belong to the employer and not the user.
- anonym29 2mo agoEmployers may not be the target audience.
- duttish 2mo agoI wouldn't know. With the post mentioning teams and slack I just got the feeling it was on the cards, so I thought it was worth posting that in case it hadn't occurred to them.
- angry_octet 2mo agoLots of non-work organisations use tools like Slack.
- moeffju 2mo agoI would guess that in these cases you would just not allow users to self-delete their accounts? But for most users and providers of Chatto I think automatic right-to-deletion compliance sounds nice :)
- duttish 2mo agoYea you probably want that too, but I don't think that's enough. For some you need legal holds on employee messages and in other cases you will want to un-delete messages for investigations etc. For just random online communities, which is the niche discord is in, I agree it does sound nice.
- hendrikmans 2mo agoDifferent users (operators of Chatto servers) will have different requirements for this, so it's pretty much "configurable" in the sense that eg. a business that's hosting a Chatto server for their employees can disable shredding account deletion and just deactivate accounts instead, leaving their data intact.
- jkman 2mo agoWhat does implementing soft-delete have to do with data storage though? If you just set up an S3-compatible backend like the docs offer you then have data persistence out of the box, no?
