@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.

@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?
That’s better for sure—even leaves time to copy any interesting info—but still feels unnecessary.
I.e., the post could stay in the timeline, showing the disabled badge. It’s just as clear as a full-on removal, doesn’t expose additional data, and feels friendlier to the user. My 2 cents!

@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.
And your current implementation is certainly nice enough; better than elsewhere, as you say.
Thanks for making the app! :)
