Kinda weird and sus that some Mastodon instances aren't respecting deletes....

Kinda weird and sus that some Mastodon instances aren't respecting deletes....

Had a post I deleted last week that just got replied to, from a mastodon instance.

And people wonder why casual users don't wanna be here...🤦‍♂️

@BeAware@social.beaware.live which instance? That sounds more like a bug than anything, you'd have to go out of your way to reject deletes right or just never receive the DELETE message?

  I deleted the post that this is replying to.
  
  You won't find it on my instance. Yet, there it is.
  
  Not sure what it is, but it doesn't feel good.
  
  @BeAware@social.beaware.live @tom I would like to think this is sorta a "if a tree falls in a forest" kinda thing or maybe just a relay not doing a good job. If you have a follower from that instance it absolutely should not happen...
  
  @BeAware@social.beaware.live yeah weird, it's gotta be a bug because I doubt acm.org is intentionally archiving posts lol
  
  I would hope that mastodon notifies the server if they replied to a deleted post though, in case a delete message falls through
Happens to me all the time on Lemmy...I delete a post and still get replies.
