This update adds additional user account visibility options and improves the process of deleting user accounts and magazines for the instance administrator. It also introduces private user accounts and magazines similar to options known from Mastodon.
- ability to delete an account in the user panel
- additional timestamp indication for the deletion account request
- ability to withdraw the deletion account request
- cron for automatic deletion of marked accounts (@todo)
- ability to suspend a user account (the account is not permanently deleted, but threads, posts and comments cease to be visible on the instance)
- ability to reinstate a user account
- the new ‘deletion’ section in the administrator panel, which assists in managing the accounts and magazines marked for deletion
- responding to a small portion of emails from the contact form
Time remaining for the kbin.social update: ? days.
@ernest Also careful with that “suspend account" language, as it means a very different thing in a trust & safety context across the fediverse — perhaps “pause account” or "take a break”?
