Can you link to an example?

As far as I know, Lemmy doesn’t allow the deletion of content. reddit.com/…/psa_you_cant_delete_photos_uploaded_…

You should however be able to overwrite your posts. So when you delete them, change every field to random nonsense.

    That has nothing to do with federation - I can still read deleted comments that other users of my instance posted in local communities

    LWD ,

    Just like on Facebook, when you delete a comment on Lemmy it gets stuck with a “deleted” flag that’s possible to undo on some clients, including the official one last time I did it.

    To be fair, your incredulity is totally understandable. I think we should fix Lemmy too.

    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
