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
basically, i bet if anyone can't see those posts i just boosted, if they check @luna, they'll see that there's more than 0 followers
@boots ...ooh, uhm. I hate to bust open that theory, but... https://tootplanet.space/media/PJZKkb7kTb6PuIHYHCI
@InspectorCaracal new theory! everyone who saw the boosts federated the user who boosted them originally, getting them cached, but they don't follow the actual moon
@InspectorCaracal okay nevermind i just checked on someone else on ephemeral that's wrong too
hmmmmmm
