Semiphemeral protects your privacy by making it easy for you to automatically delete years of old tweets while giving you control over exactly which tweets you want to make sure you keep.
For example, you can set it to automatically delete tweets that are older than 30 days unless they have at least 20 retweets or at least 20 likes (all these numbers are configurable). You can also:
Keep all tweets that are part of the same thread as a tweet that meets those RT and like thresholds
Search through all of your tweets and pick which ones to exclude from automatic deletion, so that Semiphemeral will never delete them
Unretweet tweets after a number of days
Unlike tweets after a number of days
Automatically delete your old direct messages
Forget is a service that automatically deletes your old posts that everyone has forgotten about. Shouldn't databases forget too?
Forget is a service that automatically deletes your old posts once everyone has forgotten about them. After all, why shouldn't computers forget too?

Eugen Rochko was annoyed with Twitter. The company had made a series of changes that he thought eroded the value of the service: limiting how big third-party applications could grow, for example, and implementing an algorithm-driven timeline that made Twitter feel uncomfortably similar to Facebook. Most people in Rochko’s situation fired off an angry tweet or two and moved on. Rochko set about rebuilding Twitter from scratch.

I quit Twitter to join a kinder, nicer, decentralized open source version of Twitter.
