Hey @julian I am working on implementing a Soft Delete.

Hey @julian I am working on implementing a Soft Delete. Do you have an example JSON how a Tombstone should look like?

@julian Just checked the spec for a Tombstone... Seems to be pretty straight forward ️

@julian is there a way to `Undo` a soft delete?

[mariusor@metalhead.club]

@pfefferle is there a reason why you aren't looking first at the official specification?

The "soft-delete" behaviour is the actual spec conformant mechanism for deletion in ActivityPub.

What @julian describes as "hard-delete" in this FEP exists in the spec only as a side-effect of Undo-ing the original Create activity.

@pfefferle@mastodon.social sure, because 4f05 assumes that deletion activity is a request to refresh the cache, a simple Update would suffice to bring the object back from Tombstone status.

That said if you issued an Undo(Delete) that’d probably work too, and would do the same thing.
