I don't see why a delete command couldn't be federated in exactly the same way an upvote or comment is.

This knowledge has opened a new window for me.
Oh God, no thanks. I couldn't imagine a silver enemy taking even longer to kill because he's dodging shit. That kind of ability is reserved for Link and.... Not some rag tag bokoblin.
What a hypotenuse!
It's not always about being decent. Sometimes people doxx themselves by accident, and should be allowed to delete their comments. Especially if they start getting harassed by some nut. Sometimes stalkers can piece together info from old comments.
If they do delete it and it doesn't make the content irretrievable, I'm not sure they can edit the comment at that point to remove the info. They will now have lost control of it.
I realize that deleting isn't perfect because of archive sites, screenshots, and whatever else. But at the very basic level, people should be able to actually delete their comments.
This feature already exists. When I block a community in an Android app and go to the website at sh.itjust.works, and look at my Preferences > Blocks, I see the community I just blocked in my app, even if they are on a remote instance.
So, I guess I don't understand the problem.
I made a post and got "network error", but it turns out it went through anyway. Took three tries to not get the error, so I ended up making three posts. Had to delete the two extras.
This looks gorgeous! It's really beautiful.
"Tileable" is a better term to use in the future.
Words mean what people use them to mean.
Check out definitions 3a and 3b.

Dictionaries document word usage, and a very large number of people use decimate to mean the definitions under 3.
There's nothing about the content being federated that makes it hard or impossible to index. Each instance is just a website with a public webpage that a bot can read. That all a search engine needs to index it. The worst case scenario is the bot will find the same content on multiple instances.
I did read that the website is loaded entirely through JavaScript and that maybe the Google bot doesn't execute JavaScript so can't see the text. I don't know if that's still a problem in 2023, though.
This article says it's not a problem, but I didn't read past the tl;dr, so maybe there's a caveat. Like maybe it has to use a popular framework like React or something to work.
