Here's where it gets interesting.

Any post I sent last night that was visible to users on other instances remains there.

I can't delete it, because I can't see it on my instance. Auto-delete won't delete it either, for the same reason.

In terms of people's ability to control their data, this is a problem. It affects all #Mastodon users.

It's also a problem Mastodon has known about since December 2022, when I sent them a suggested fix: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/22154

Which they ignored, as usual.

@tokyo_0 welcome to the M*st*d*n dev process, where silent contempt for outsiders is a feature, not a bug.

it's been that way for nearly a decade. it's not going to change.

If you don't want to find yourself in a position where you are no longer able to control your personal data that has been orphaned on other #Mastodon instances, you might want to make some noise about this.

You may also wish to subscribe to the three-year-old solution on Github (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/22154) and add a comment to share your interest in having this resolved.
