Good question!
PieFed sends delete requests to every known server, including defederated ones. I’ve seen a ton of delete requests from Mastodon too, for accounts that don’t exist on PieFed so it looks like Mastodon does that too. No idea about other fedi platforms.
It is a basic feature and it does work. Except in rare cases.
You are technically correct but the fact is that 99.9% of federated activities, including delete requests, are processed normally and in the expected way. That is not “impossible to delete” that is “will be deleted except in exceptional circumstances”.
These are my thoughts https://distantprovince.by/posts/its-rude-to-show-ai-output-to-people/
PieFed communities have a setting that can turn them into stackoverflow. https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/p/1523157/what-if-stack-overflow-except-federated
Lemmy.world has removed their defed too 👍
Oh :)
Once per day a request is made all instances to retrieve the list of their admins. If that request fails then they’re flagged as ‘dormant’. If dormant for 5 days, flagged as ‘gone forever’ and then PieFed doesn’t try to federate with them again and all their communities have that warning on them.
PieFed does this.
Good news. The old fosstodon admins resigned and they have a new team and a good code of conduct.
I have added new functionality to PieFed so it’s now possible to override an automatically imported defederation and now piefed.social federates with fosstodon.org.
PieFed.social has not intentionally defederated from fosstodon - piefed.social automatically defederates from any instance that lemmy.world or mastodon.social defederates from. That way I don’t need to keep up with the latest fedi drama and just trust those admin teams to.
In this case, it’s lemmy.world.
I’ll ask around and see what the latest on fosstodon is and see if lemmy.world wants to federate with them again.

Please, continue to “use AI daily”. Rot your brain, see if I care.
If my competitors want to shoot themselves in the foot that’s fine by me, I won’t stop them.
They need to have some kind of AI safety team, as a fig leaf. But they don’t don’t want it to slow them down so they make sure it’s incompetent and ineffective.
Just a theory.
Yep.
FediGroups works with all the popular server types – Mastodon, Misskey, Firefish, Iceshrimp, Sharkey, Catodon, Friendica
Weird exclusion of all threadiverse server types, there.
Really? Looks like a normal day at the office to me:
PieFed has this in the admin area:
So admins don’t need to stay on top of the latest defederation drama, just choose who to outsource that work to. From that baseline you can add more defederations manually.
