I'm confused about something. So here is the thread on the OP's server:

https://social.pixie.town/@thufie/103514187998424731

The replies disappeared from my timeline and I assumed they deleted them, but the full thread exists on their server, and I can still reply to it

Silencing an instance would mean new posts do not appear. How are posts moderated so they send out a delete request but keep their original version of the thread? Feels broken.
