Deleting a post - is it generally broken or am I just unlucky?

Comment deletion is also screwed up.

Your home server might honor post deletion requests, but other servers are under no such obligation.

Always remember Murphy’s Law of the internet: once you post something, it’s public forever (unless you need to find it years later, then all copies will have been accidentally lost).

Good bait. I almost fell for it.

By default that's what ActivityPub does, but instance administrators can configure their servers to handle deletions differently or not at all.

It was nothing worse than a bungled meme, but thank you. 😁
