Can someone explain to me, why, whenever you delete your comment or posts on lemmy.world, you are still able to find the comments or deleted posts using mastodon by finding the user and you can still browse through the deleted posts or comments by that person? Do they ever get deleted? And if not, what’s the point of having a delete button 😅Thanks
There is no guarantee that the delete request reaches all other instances as there is no kind of synchronisation protocol. If that delete request never reaches the other instance for whatever reason, the post stays online.
I see and I understand that. Thank you for the correction.
