It's get crazy, I don't understand it all either. There's single instance policies and then the federation at large policy and then even the policies of your federated app vs other federated apps (lemmy and mastodon interactions).

But the cool thing is no one is in charge of anything, so you can easily hack up your instance to refuse to ever delete anything. You can get a 'this user deleted their account' message, but your instance says fuck it and does nothing. very hackable, no centralized blockchain shit whatsoever. no teams.

Critically, filtered or not, everything can be backed up - and when spam tries to abuse this it can be managed?

Simple but not: I'm for 100% open free speech 1) if people can set their own tolerance filters (ideally interactively participatory) 2) and if spam/STABs/porn/illegalities can be tagged or nullified if necessary.
