the thing about me boosting those posts is that well uh
those posts no longer exist on that instance

...mastodon is definitely going to have to work on the whole deletion thing

i think what's happening is mastodon isnt propagating the deletion event beyond instances where the user is actually federated, making it so that boosted posts are cached

@boots also even if mastodon support deletes right, it doesn't mean any server will respect it. Anyone is free to build an alternative backend or just a feed reader that does not support deletions.

@href yeah, i just want the ability to do that to require an active effort on the part of whoever wants to do it

honestly i don't care if it's possible to do on something other than vanilla mastodon, i just want it to be harder than "it's possible to do on accident on a vanilla instance"
