hi i just wanted to ask a question which is the following umm why, why does when you do delete a post in profile your main profile does it not get deleted?? like it gets deleted but in the main profile it gets a little trash can symbol red symbol, red symbol on the right!! which means that it’s been deleted but it still shows up in my profile history how can i delete it forever please?? thanks you so much!!!
It would be really nice if this information was super explicit when one joins a community. In the default interfaces. And that users get a notification if community settings change.
It’s not a community setting or feature. It’s a fact of the internet.
If you publish something to someone else’s website, you no longer have any control over it. And federation means publishing your content on thousands of websites, many of them not even running the same software. Your comments are out there on mbin sites, Friendica sites, Hubzilla sites, Mastodon sites, Misskey sites, and many others. Someone’s pribably got a custom web server they developed, slapped some ActivityPub inside of it, and didn’t bother to make it even understand delete requests.
This is the internet. It is public, and it is forever. You really need to treat it as such.
Yes, but all that is true for Facebook, Reddit and whatever. It’s still nice to have this feature in the “reference” implementation of Lemmy. I think. Then it will also be easier for instance owners and moderators to follow any local laws that requires this.
I don’t know if this is already in the ActivityPub protocol, but it would be nice if all instances who has a copy of some content, deletes it, if it has been marked “request for deletion” by the creator or the owner of the instance where it was first posted. There will always be actors that store specifically all posts that’s been marked for delete, but I still think this is preferable.
That’s the way it is. That’s what this meant.
It’s not a setting that available to admins out of the box, and someone tweaking their instance not to process the request for deletion from the ActivityPub protocol can’t really be detected from the outside, and sure won’t be published.
Once it’s out there in the fediverse, you can assume it’s there to stay.
Yes, but it is still preferable to have this behavior. Just as I think it’s preferable to have “please do not track”, even though it’s being removed now. See my other reply. 99% will use the reference implement unless it sucks.
You should still warn users that what you post on the internet probably stays on the internet. Somewhere.
You’re asking for changes to software to prevent changes to software. The whole point of this thread is that server owners can make whatever software changes they like.
By default things get deleted. Don’t count on that for any platform. Once together put something out on the public Internet, there’s never a guarantee it’ll go away. No matter what anyone does, I can always take my phone out and take a picture of what you’ve posted before you delete it.
I don’t understand what you mean. I don’t count on anything. See my other reply.
