I have noticed that when I delete a comment or post, people still vote and reply to it like they can see it. Does the delete button only delete it for me?

Edit thank you to those who answered

Some instances just don't comply with delete requests. Besides that, it takes time to federate, both directions, the comments could be from before you deleted it but took time to federate to you, or the delete request didn't federate to their instance in time.
