Make a self-destruct option #7144

Open Dryusdan opened 3 years ago

Dryusdan commented 3 years ago

Summary

In the life of a waiter, there is his shutdown. Today Misskey uses the fediverse and therefore sends a lot of information to the other instances (messages, images...). Except that in a more or less distant future, we may decide to stop a Misskey server (sadly :( ). In order not to leave traces / dead accounts / notes / media everywhere on the internet, it would be interesting to have a "self-destruct" option which will signal a deletion of an account, will delete all the toots everywhere on the internet etc... Like the self-destruct option of Mastodon ( https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/tootctl/#self-destruct ) :)

Thank by advance :)

As a note, I tried it before for my own instance but I was required to restore some db entries because of deletion of keys for signature.

You have to manually delete all accounts. This should send a deletion notice to all federating instances, which will also delete any notes made by the user. I don't think it is necessary to make an option for this rare kind of event.

Also I think it would be much too dangerous to be clicked on accident, also making me think this would be a bad idea.
