↳ In-reply-to » @jlj @xuu hello! @prologic and I were chatting about the question of globally deleting twts from the yarn.social network. @prologic noted that he could build the tools and endpoints to delete twts, but some amount of cooperation from pod operators would be necessary to make it all work together. He asked me to spawn a discussion of the subject here, so here we are!

@prologic@twtxt.net If I was to run a pod, and I’d like to spin one up at some point, the abuse policy of twtxt.net (or any other pod) would be completely irrelevant. My users would be bound by the abuse policy of my pod, whether or my abuse policy matches yours.

Users on any pod should be free to mute any feed or conversation they dislike, and pod admins should be free to “mute” entire pods if they so choose.

I may be misunderstanding you here, but the motive behind this delete API seems to be to police the activities of users on other pods.

If a pod admin decides to delete a post on his pod as you have, that deletion should eventually be propagated throughout the network. It’s the same if a user chooses to delete his own post. However, you should not have any say over the deletion of a post on twt.nfld.uk. That’s @jlj@twt.nfld.uk’s decision to make.

I think @tkanos@twtxt.net and I are in agreement here, but I don’t want to speak for him.
