Comment on Is there a bulk comment deletiin tool for Lemmy?
Can’t you just edit the content and write ‘deleted’ then saving it? Won’t the federate everything to just say ‘deleted’ instead of actually deleting it which doesn’t delete it from all servers?
I’ve found edits don’t federate consistently.
Given that so much depends on the implementation details of the various instances I’m not sure anything more than a “best effort” is possible.
I wouldn’t post anything that would be a problem.
