Gregory's Server@renchap Yes but account deletions are incredibly rare. The alternative would be to check every time you search an account on your instance to check if the account still exists.

 @renchap @pkreissel Perhaps there should be a "BulkDelete" notification: signed by the instances public key listing all the accounts to be deleted in that batch. Then a single notification only needs to go out to each known server which can do a quick "do I hold any records at all from (origin server)" before processing further. To make things more efficient, servers could batch delay sending deletes for 10mins. |
@pkreissel they may be rare most of the time, but when you mass-delete accounts after some bad actors actions, spam attempts or other events, you call generate a lot of them in a short time. For a real example, we had to delete about 3000 accounts, which created 3000*17000 outbound notifications. And this gets worse with more users/instances.
