    It’s not a setting that available to admins out of the box, and someone tweaking their instance not to process the request for deletion from the ActivityPub protocol can’t really be detected from the outside, and sure won’t be published.

    Once it’s out there in the fediverse, you can assume it’s there to stay.

      Yes, but it is still preferable to have this behavior. Just as I think it’s preferable to have “please do not track”, even though it’s being removed now. See my other reply. 99% will use the reference implement unless it sucks.

      You should still warn users that what you post on the internet probably stays on the internet. Somewhere.
