    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.

      I believe that an out-of-the-box lemmy instance will remove deleted content from federated instances automatically.
