Apparently it's now approx. 6 months ago since the huge influx of Twitter users hit this instance.
This also means that my cleanup-script on https://codeberg.org/Windfluechter/cleanup-mastodon-users.sh is now mailing hundreds of users because they haven't had logged in for >6 months now and their account is going to get deleted when they still come back within 4 weeks.
This is a way to keep your instance clean and remove unnecessary data. In German I call it "Datenhygiene".
Fun fact with that is:
All those accounts that have used a one-time mail address will get deleted, because the notification mail about the pending account deletion is undeliverable.
It's stated quite clearly that you'll need a permanent valid mailaddress for exact that purpose in my ToS.
Good point, either that, if people are going to use a throwaway e-mail address to sign up, and the decide to stay they need to remember to change the e-mail address to one they use.
I can understand why people use throwaway e-mail addresses to avoid spam and junk from people.
