Did the privacy concerns have been updated/planned for update? (self.fediverse)

I just fall on this and didn't know you can't remove stuff from lemmy.

I'm not touchy about privacy, but am I the only one to find this disturbing?

EDIT: Thanks to @solidgrue, I realize ActivePub (the protocol under Lemmy) actually support content deletion. It's mostly to the instances to choose to honor it or not, which make sense.

ActivityPub does distribute updates to posts, including delete intents

Oh! I thought that it was a limitation of the ActivePub protocol to not support delete intents because of “the Internet never forget”.

but instances are not bound to honor it.

Yes, totally make sense.
