I’ve deleted one of my comments, but I’m still getting replies on it, indicating that it’s still visible to others and not appearing as “deleted” as it should be appearing. I logged in with my alt account on a different instance and verified that the comment was still visible despite the fact that it was supposed to be deleted.

Is there something I can do about this or is this just some kind of wonky federation related issue? The comment was posted on a different instance than my home instance, if that matters at all. Could that be why it won’t delete and still seems to be visible?

    Unfortunately your is a known bug. If the delete doesn’t get federated properly there isn’t a way to redo it.

      Ah, well, that sucks. Do you have any idea if the devs are aware of this bug? If so, I hope they fix it one day.

      For this reason, I have been editing comments to [Deleted] instead of actually deleting them. If it doesn’t federate properly, I can edit them again.
