   @badlogic You’re talking about a moderation feature (suspension + purge of data). Imagine that those posts from instance B are CSAM. There’s a reason you want to be able to purge data from your instance. That’s a feature, not a bug.

     Well, Mastodon is even more fucked than I thought when I built my own client.

     Turns out an instance may eventually evict posts from accounts from other instances.

     Say you are on instance A, and a friend is on instance B. You two have a convo. After some time, all of B's replies are gone from your instance. If you view your thread, you are missing all their replies. If you are lucky, instance B still has all replies. Or not. Poof.

     What a terrible, terrible platform.
