  • I never thought of the right to be forgotten aspart of the right to privacy. They always seemed separate.

    But technically federating a deletion shouldn’t be more complicated than federating an addition. It would make sense to have the option when deleting an account to nuke all posts as well. It might not be perfect if an instance is defederated in between, but it should be pretty good.


  • The first and third are just features that will almost certainly come eventually. No worries.

    The second strikes me as a really strange expection for public social media. Social media is inherently not at all private. These are all public comments and posts intended for everyone in the world to read. If you have something you don’t want to be public, any social media is the last place to post it.

    There isn’t a way to do exactly what you want.

    Since you typically do this with your partner, the easiest solution would be for you both to be on the same instance. Then the gray chain link would work fine.

    For other random people, use the colored federation star link. That goes to the home instance of the post.

    Edit: as per mortonksalt
    Another option is to paste the link to another instance into the search on yours. That should bring up the local instance version of the same post.
