What should be the default setting for dissapearing DMs on Amethyst?
- 90 days?
- 1 year?
- Never?
People can change it of course, but 95% of our users never do. So, the default setting matters
Default to never, then the lower timeframe chosen by one the two parties will be mandatory.
So if A sets 90 days and B sets 1 day. Then 1 day is going to be the message disappearing time of the chat.
Also a user can decide to have all of their chats default to 1 day or 1 week and all of their chats will default to that.
If A and B initiate a new chat and A set 90 days as their default and B set 1 day. The chat will have a 1 day default timer.
In this way if 2 users do not care about messages disappearing they will have persidtency, if any of them cares they will have a right to privacy and the greatest privacy expectation will be always respected.
