I _actually_ wonder whether we're over thinking things a bit here entirely...
We already have several user controls:
- Unfollow a feed
- Mute a feed
- Mute a twt
And the pod operator of a multi-user pod can:
- Delete a feed
- Delete an account
- Shadow ban a feed
Because pods are sort of "distributed" I _really_ wonder whether we need to be all that concerned with deleting archived twts across the network at all? π€ It opens up a huge can of worms that _might_ be rather tricky to solve "right now"...
I _honestly_ think the best way to handle this as we grow/scale with more pods in the Yarn.social network is to just build up a strong positive community and just have a "zero tolerance" attitude towards abuse and just nuke offending feeds/accounts without question.
Hmmm? π€ As long as the software yarnd makes it easy for those (hopefully rare) abusive users to move their feeds elsewhere and take their data with them, maybe this is enough? π€

I personally disagree with this moderation policy, but it's your right to enforce your rules as you see fit.
Perhaps there should be some kind of grace period, where anyone can download the contents of a "deleted" feed for *n* days before it gets removed entirely. That way, the user has the opportunity to download his feed and move it somewhere else and his followers have the opportunity to save an archive of the feed if they so choose.
@mckinley Oh that's probably a good point actually. Sorry, my mind is all over the place right now π
