 @ivory Lots of great stuff! Having deleted posts be removed from the timeline feels bad to me, though; I remember that happening in Twitter clients, and it was always frustrating that a thing you could see, was suddenly gone, taken away. The deleted badge will sure remove confusion, but maybe the posts can stay? 6 comments
@ivory I get your point! But as the person witnessing the post vanish, like sand escaping between your fingers, it’s always a frustrating experience ☹️  @Cykelero Have you experienced how it works in Ivory yet? It doesn't just disappear without warning. @ivory No, I haven’t. I understand the post only goes away once you return from the detail view? @Cykelero Totally understand your point. But we don't think that's the way it should work. A deleted post should be deleted. That's how the system is designed to work. Technically this is something you should bring up with Mastodon because we are just trying to match how the system is designed to work. 🙂 I’d argue the way we have it currently is the best case scenario for what you want and how it is supposed to work. @ivory That’s fair! You’re designing both to satisfy the user, and be a good citizen of the platform. |

@Cykelero No this is how it should work. Actually the website delete is right away so you don't even get a chance to see it unless you read before it's actually deleted. Since our timeline is currently cached, you at least have plenty of time to read and get notified that it was deleted in the post detail.
