FEP-4f05: Soft Deletion
-
Hi all,
Some discussion regarding NodeBB's handling of soft deleted posts and Discourse's parallel implementation prompted the creation of this FEP, which attempts to describe how the concept of soft deletion can be published without the introduction of new activities—using
as:Deleteas-is and relying on a backreference check for Tombstone in order to signal a soft delete.https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/4f05/fep-4f05.md

@Claire, in Feb 2002, you created a topic where you mentioned soft deletes. While this isn't strictly related to
Undo(Delete), this FEP recommends thinking of a receivedDeleteas an instruction to invalidate the cache, and re-fetch, which would give you a better answer as to how to handle the receivedDeleteorUndo(Delete).Perhaps this might help.
