Fediverse

No, you're good, and we're mostly on the same page! My general expectation is that your server tries its best, maybe there are still copies out there, but you shrug and say "eh, I wiped my stuff locally, good enough".

But yeah, I agree that once something leaves your server in terms of the passage of data, there are no guarantees. And I do agree that significant structural changes are necessary and important for the network's continued evolution!
