  • In my understanding, deleting (and moderation) are pretty much unsolved mysteries on this platform.

    For example, last I heard, an administrator has to drop into a command line to delete media from removed posts, otherwise they’d still be accessible if the URL was known. (Think illegal material.)

    Filtering is similarly done at the client end, so that’s fun.

    Note that I’m not associated with the source code, only as a user and am repeating things I’ve observed, read, or have been told. YMMV.



  • I think that this reflects “real life”.

    You can go to a pub, spout some nonsense and cross the road and spout it again. Each time you are likely to have a different audience, but there’s no guarantee that someone else crossed the road with you.

    In the fediverse the same is true. Each community is distinct, even if they’re called the same thing and have shared participation.

    You can choose to participate in whichever one you want to, or all of them. There’s no karma associated with voting, it’s about visibility in that community.

    If you think it warrants a vote or comment, then do. If you don’t, then don’t.

    There’s no right answer here. Do what you think will improve the community you are part of.
