Hi I’ve just arrived on Lemmy but I’m already talking shit and people hate me like when I say Twitter is better than Mastodon (sorry I’m an idiot). But now I want to delete my post because I don’t assume but it won’t go away!!! Can someone explain to me how the delete system works? Thanks a lot.

    With everything you put onto the internet remember that the services don’t have to delete what you want to remove. And chances are also good that someone archived what you said before editing or deleting.

    And I guess with Lemmy and other federated services it should be relatively easy to set up a server that does not honor deletion requests at all.
