I am confused, this is the second reply I get on a comment I deleted just after posting it.
I did so as I realized that I didn't have the energy to debate my smartphone preference with random people online
It doesn't look deleted to me.
How would one go about reading the logs on how federation worked in this case? I'm thinking lemmy.ml either missed it did not honor the delete from lemmy.zip
By adding 'this misses the point' at the beginning you yourself made this a debate about the post, not your preference. You can spend whatever you want on stuff you want, but many people arent aware that apple is charging them twice what the device is worth, just because of their monopoly, and that was the point.
Correct, which is why I regretted posting it as soon as i did.
Maybe whatever app you’re using isn’t really deleting comments? It’s still showing up fine for me and gaining votes.
It looks deleted to me, I am using Voyager when I am on my phone, so a well known app, I suspect that the comment I wrote made it to the sync queue, I then immediately deleted the comment, which deleted it on lemmy.zip but didn't clear the comment from the sync queue, but did generate a delete request to be synced.
Then as a sync request probably would be smaller than a comment and probably has a higher priority than a comment, it got processed before the comment was posted, creating the situation we have.
I have no indepth understanding of lemmy, but as an IT guy, this makes sense
This is happened to me before. I’ve noticed a delay in the federation such that sometimes comments recently deleted will still get votes or replies for a time. I speculate it’s because the deletion doesn’t get processed until the comment has finished being shared with other instances.
