   the permanence of fedi is kind of scary
   
   even if I delete my own posts, somewhere else has them forever

     @izaya @galaxis we respect deletions by default, it's just that the frontend doesn't get dynamically updated to signal that, and i don't like that :neko_sweat:

     @galaxis I'm pretty sure that Pleroma doesn't respect deletions by default - at least, I see all the "deleted and redrafted" posts here, so by that metric half the fediverse is malicious :D

     @izaya ...kinda reminds me of when I first found some of my early 1990s Usenet posts on Dejanews.

     I mean, it was clear that some people who could afford it kept archives, but there wasn't even a real notion of putting them "online".

     In terms of the Fediverse, I'd consider anyone who doesn't honour deletions (or scrapes content for archival) a malicious actor, but both kinds are hard to defend against, even when seemingly restricting distribution.
