The problem is this. ☝️ This is _very hard_ to do "automatically" without having to also worry about "malicious" pods or software propagating unintended or unwanted "deletes"

@prologic It seems very straight forward to do this automatically. When I delete my own post, how is that currently propagated to other pods?

We agree that the abuse of admin powers on his own pod is not a big concern because the software should protect the right of the users to migrate to a different pod.

In one of two ways:

- Users on the other pod follow your feed and therefore that pod has those Twts(s) archvied.
- Pods exchange "missing twts" each each other in a sort of "gossip" protocol.
