I'm just working on an extension to mastotool that lets you check how many of the accounts that you follow, or that follow you, are now stale accounts that haven't posted anything in a specified time period.
Spoiler: the numbers on the fediverse are staggeringly high 😐
@fribbledom So will there be policies (clear in sign up terms) that accounts not active for say six months will be deleted?
But accurate (or close to ) figures are essential for advocacy
This isn't anything that a server enforces. Mastotool is merely a command line tool that you can run yourself, against your personal account.
@fribbledom A ok, It is a good idea though.
I know Frirendi.ca or the instance i was on, has a policy of deleting accounts that appear to have become dormant and not logged in to for a while. .
