I understand in any Foss project federated delete can be turned off by forking the project and removing it but I feel like for the vast majority of instances they won’t do that. I noticed Lemmy does not support federated delete leaving me unable to delete post from other instances. Is this planned?

    Hopefully, but from what I understand, the federated nature of Lemmy means some instances might not respect your delete flag, and content might stay up anyway.

      It does not. But it has been flagged, so hopefully it will be fixed at some point in the future.

    Not answering your Q but I see it as impossible to for sure know that you’ve deleted anything from the internet, implying that relying on such a function is fruitless

      Yeah, but I mean it’s better than nothing. This is like saying federation is fruitless cause some instances might block you.
