Unless I have it wrong my understanding is that I can set Librem Chat to erase messages after a certain time. I have three rooms set up and I have set them for messages to delete after three days. Trouble is it’s not deleting deleting the messages.
First up, have I got it right that this is possible?
If so can anybody suggest what I might be doing wrong, or not enabled something so that my messages delete after three days?
I am not actually aware of enabling disappearing messages in Matrix/Riot, though I haven’t really looked for it before. But in perusing my Librem Chat app, I didn’t see any settings for disappearing messages.
Where did you enable the 3 day deletion time?
I just accessed it from my main page > settings, and then a bit down the page under “other” is “keep media” which gives options of 3 days, 1 week, 1 month or forever.
Now it is entirely possible that I am misinterpreting what “keep media” means? I am far from an expert with these social media platforms 
Oh, my guess is media in this context means images, videos, and such. Not basic messages
Trouble is that it all stays. Pics and everything. Beats me.
