I figure it is simply negligence in that implementation of any kind of solution would take effort. PieFed is too new to have gotten around to it yet, Lemmy seems to want to rather spend time on moderating instances than on code development, and hardly anybody uses Mbin so I don’t know its stance on the topic.
I’m betting that six months from now very little if anything will have changed in this regard. Just like the previous six months, the six months before that, the six months before that, and so on. (But if I can say this without getting banned from this community, if something does happen to change this, it will be on PieFed.)
I think they made deleted posts visible in Lemmy 1.0.
I’ve just done it in PieFed 1.4.3, released now.
Thanks again! To all that made it happen.
