I found a way to retrieve the text of comments deleted by user or mod. I don’t think it is an issue of federated instances not respecting the deletion.

Is it a bug?

Or is “deleting” always really just “hiding”?

    I and most other people understand this.

    It doesn’t mean websites can’t do their best to help their users out.

    No reason to make things easier for an adversary.

    I feel like I’m here talking about treating municipal drinking water and you just wrote a long post explaining that not all diseases are transmissible via water. 30 years ago everyone knew that you can get the flu or cancer or eczema no matter how clean the water is… But all this eternal September riff raff thinks if you just clean the tap water all other problems magically vanish. Sigh.

      If you understood that concept, you would have had the answer to your question before you asked.
