I only just learned today that, when someone from one instance gets banned from another instance, that person not only is no longer able to interact with the second instance, but people from the second instance actually can't see anything the person said from the moment they got banned even though they're still there. I'm disappointed to learn all my friends who got banned from my instance are still saying stuff and nobody told me, making it more akin to an instance forcing everyone to block them (because individuals blocking each other the same way work like this). And this is coming from the person who has fantasized about universalization of federation.

What's something about the fediverse that was most recently unobscured but that you know now?

I think i heard somewhere that a request to delete content of yours is passed from instance to instance. It can be ignored too by specific instances I believe.

Possibly this was me yesterday.

While such requests could be intentionally ignored, I’m not of aware of a case where any actually have been. I can’t see why anyone would, and going rogue like that is liable to get your instance defederated.

How to monitor which instances ignored the request?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

Why would it need to be monitored? I can’t think of a reason that an instance would not want to honor them, and if they were to, someone would eventually notice and complain. I don’t see a value in monitoring/policing it.
