   Hey @julian I am working on implementing a Soft Delete. Do you have an example JSON how a Tombstone should look like?

     @julian Just checked the spec for a Tombstone... Seems to be pretty straight forward ☺️

     @julian is there a way to `Undo` a soft delete?

     @pfefferle is there a reason why you aren't looking first at the official specification?

     The "soft-delete" behaviour is the actual spec conformant mechanism for deletion in ActivityPub.

     What @julian describes as "hard-delete" in this FEP exists in the spec only as a side-effect of Undo-ing the original Create activity.
