Kinda weird and sus that some Mastodon instances aren’t respecting deletes…
Had a post I deleted last week that just got replied to, from a mastodon instance.
And people wonder why casual users don’t wanna be here…🤦♂️

@ThaMunsta@nervesocket.com @BeAware@social.beaware.live actually now that you mention it, I’m not sure how Mastodon decides where to send Deletes to
Like, does it maintain a list of all servers that requested your post? That feels excessive but also probably the only way to ensure that every server that has your data deletes it. Or does it just send it to all your followers and servers that boosted/liked it
@tom@tomkahe.com @ThaMunsta@nervesocket.com it should send delete requests to every instance that it was sent to. It should know that because my server has to actually send the post. Maybe I’m misunderstanding things but this seems like it should be an easy thing to do.
@BeAware@social.beaware.live @ThaMunsta@nervesocket.com From glancing through the github issues it looks like it only does that for account deletions. Though I have no idea how many of these are resolved or no longer function as described in the issues
