My fedi-software does both (fully conformant). So, it follows above specification and so includes https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#delete-activity-outbox replies.
However, this might be a bit underspecified but it is useless if any software rolls out their own Client-to-Server-API.
So, I'd say it is “rather a software issue”.
Anyway. What I could not find in the spec. at all was:
What would happen to replies if an object gets deleted. This is what I am interpreting as the replies should stay.
I can only say that this is also a legal issue, it is e.g. my only way to show how I reacted to deleted posts of Nazis.
Opinions?
In the desktop version of BitWarden, go to File → Export Vault. Choose the JSON format (this doesn't work for CSV) and follow the on-screen instructions.
This command pipes your export to JQ. It selects all the items, then it sorts by when the item was last edited. It then displays the name of the account and the date, followed by a newline.
It would be great if BitWarden allowed sorting by date in their UI. Even better if they could sort by usage. Until then, I'll spend every Valentine's Day manually deleting old and unloved accounts.
I have maintained, and continue to maintain, that my concerns about #Meta and the #Fediverse have nothing to do with threads as such and everything to do with how they act around the protocol.
Them releasing a client or a server would be very, very bad news in this space. Them running a multi-tenant (or multi-single-tenant) setup would be very, very bad for the fediverse.
Their presence on a single domain just doesn't say or do all that much in the grand scheme of things.
@draNgNon The latter and yes, there's no way presently to propagate a total delete across the fediverse except for deleting every single message individually, and no way to remove anything that isn't a message that may have been downloaded by a server (e.g., your profile).
You know the joke about mathematicians numbering jokes, and how a visitor tells a new joke by saying a number they've never heard? Well, #IPFS is the same, but for files/collections of files.
My feelings so far on the pros and cons of Bluesky vs Mastodon.
Disadvantages of Bluesky:
– posts can't be viewed by those who don't yet have an account
– posts are limited to 300 characters
– no Direct / Private Messages
– no post editing
– max bio length is very short
– no way to see your own history of likes
– no bookmarks
– no way to mute specific words or phrases
– no videos
– no way to Content Warn text, only images
Disadvantages of Mastodon:
– umm… cross-instance interactions with people you don't already follow can be a bit clunky, I guess?
just wanted to revisit the question of backing up the database in the right way. I understand there are basically two recommended ways:
1 - logical backup with mariadb-dump (mysqldump), and
2 - physical backup with mariabackup,
and that a good backup strategy would be to ideally use both, alternating.
Is it possible with either or both tools to back up the life / hot database or would it be advisable to go offline for the backup?
My ideal solution would be to run one of the commands or both alternating via mini script triggered by crontab and then back it up to my storagebox via borgbackup or rsync automatically.
I really would want this to be as automatic and frictionless as possible (i.e. no manual stopping and starting the db) with no manual intervention but also have reliable and uncorrupted backup data.
One of the advantages of Mariabackup seems to be that it can backup InnoDB tables with no lock, so would this apply for Friendica?
What is the general approach to database back ups / dumps, and what works for fellow admins in practice ? Hot or cold, physical or logical? Any advice welcome.
#remove the old backup in case it is still there
sh -c "rm -rf /var/mariabackup/*"
#upgrade in case it is needed. I sometimes forgot in the past.
mariadb-upgrade
# check and optimize
mysqlcheck -A -o
#backup and compress. use pigz for parallel use of 12 (in this case) cores.
mariabackup --backup --stream=xbstream --datadir=/var/lib/mysql | pigz -9 -p 12 >/var/mariabackup/mariabackup.gz
#instead or in addition you might run for backup (or similar)
mysqldump -Aqf --routines --single-transaction --skip-lock-tables --max_allowed_packet=1024M|pigz > /var/mariabackup/all_databases_friendica.sql.gz
#I use BTRFS on the server, so I can do this:
btrfs subvolume snapshot / snapshot
#if you can not snapshot the file system then you need to run backup here:
#I break the borg lock first in case the repo is locked for some reason, can be if the last backup crashed.
#remote path is helpful for the NAS I use.
borg break-lock backuphost:/path/to/repo --remote-path /usr/local/bin/borg
#actual backup in separate script
sh -c "/root/borgbackup.sh"
#delete the snapshot
btrfs subvolume delete /root/snapshot
#End remove DB backup, with snapshots can be done earlier.
sh -c "rm -rf /var/mariabackup/*
you can also run the update of Friendica if you're on dev, I did that for many years.
A delete event is sent out by the server and attempts to be federated to all subscribers [source]. However, there are some caveats. If the destination is down or other issues in federation occur, although there may be retries depending on implementation, eventually it may give up and not federate the delete. Furthermore, activitypub is an open protocol. People can simply implement their own service that subscribes to things and drops all delete events.
I stopped using it around when the blackouts started, now it's gone. Is there a way to get them to delete all my data after having my account deleted or did I have to do that before deleting my account
Reddit can restore your deleted posts. However, if people flood them with GDPR / CCPA delete requests, they may become liable for lawsuits if they don't comply....
Sometimes I see some usefull links around Lemmy or /kbin, they’re not worth it to bookmark but I still want to remember it. So here I will be adding those links which are usefull and I want to remember.
On Lemmy, comments are not truly deleted, but hidden for all except instance admins. Also, deleted comments will still be present (they just say something to the affect of "deleted by user") and still show the poster's username even after the poster's account is deleted....

Going to pin this for 24 hours so all mods hopefully get a chance to see it! Sorry!...
Does deletion of threads / posts also take effect to the equivalent posts / threads on other platforms?
