How is this possible?
As far as I know, Lemmy doesn’t allow the deletion of content. https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/1b6g219/psa_you_cant_delete_photos_uploaded_to_lemmy_so/
You should however be able to overwrite your posts. So when you delete them, change every field to random nonsense.
deleted by creator
That has nothing to do with federation - I can still read deleted comments that other users of my instance posted in local communities
deleted by creator
I think part of the issue is that you can undo the deletion of your own posts, which is a nice feature to have.
Maybe what we need is:
- hide: does what “delete” does now
- delete: with a warning that the action is irreversible
Add in a warning when posting or commenting that hiding/deleting may not federate
deleted by creator
Can you link to an example?
deleted by creator
Content of deleted comment:
Try this comment that I’m going to delete.
I use boost as it shows deleted comments as “deleted by creator”, but you can reply to deleted comments and when you do you can see and quote it
Just like I have now. So what I assume is happening is that the backend just marks the comment as deleted and leaves everything in place, and it’s up to the front end to handle that.
Oof you’re right
